ERC Workshop: How to succeed in an ERC grant application?

Imperial College London in collaboration with Polish Academy of Sciences will hold an information event for researchers intending to apply to the forthcoming ERC calls, with the emphasis on Starting and Consolidator schemes. The event will take place on 28 June 2017 at Staszic’s Palace in Warsaw.

Researchers in Life Sciences and Physical Sciences/Engineering are especially welcome to participate in the event.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide potential ERC applicants with information on how to prepare a successful ERC proposal and manage the application process efficiently, increasing the chances of securing the grant. During the presentation session ERC experts - grant holders from Imperial College, ERC panel members as well as representatives of the Imperial's Research Office and Excellence in Science Department of the PAS will share their experiences with ERC grants, proposal writing, interviewing and evaluating.

After the presentation session selected researchers who prepared the best applications to the workshop will have an opportunity to consult their research idea with the invited experts during a “speed-consulting session”. Each selected researcher will be invited to participate in 20 min. consultations with max. 4 experts. Participants can also register to attend an intensive ERC training ("Wniosek ERC krok po kroku") organised by Excellence in Science Department on the day following the workshop (29 June). Number of places is limited to max. 14 participants.

The workshop will be held in English.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge and prior registration is required. We invite interested researchers to fill in the registration form available at: https://goo.gl/forms/Lvkb2gh2dadGQ13H3. Number of places is limited. The organisers reserve the right to select participants of each part of the workshop. Selection will be based on the information provided in the registration form.
