Participants should gain a deeper understanding of the proposal format and the key issues they are required to address in planning, writing and costing a Starting Grant proposal. Attendance will be free of charge, thanks to the support from the hosting organisations.

The sessions will be of particular interest to UK-based researchers planning to submit a proposal for the ERC Starting Grants. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
