ERC Grants Information Event

ERC Grants fund excellent, ground-breaking individual research projects carried out by promising, excellent scientists, and are open to any discipline from any scientific field, with no pre-defined topics, nor thematic priorities.

Types of ERC Grants:

• Starting Grants: for researchers with 2-7 years of experience after PhD. Indicative deadline: October 2019
• Consolidator Grants: researchers with 7-12 years of experience after PhD. Indicative deadline: February 2020
• Advanced Grants: established researchers leaders in their respective field. Deadline: 30 August 2019/ indicative deadline: summer 2020
• Synergy Grants: for 2-4 outstanding PIs with complimentary background. Indicative deadline: Autumn 2019

Be aware that these are the last ERC calls in Horizon 2020: do not miss the chance to submit your ERC application!

During this event, you will learn more about eligibility conditions, proposal preparation and the evaluation criteria, as well as tips and tricks on how to better prepare your application. You will also hear from a successful ERC Grantee, who will share with us his experience.
