Information and Proposal Writing events for FP7 - ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grants
The aim of each session is to provide participants with an overview of the European Research Council in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), and with a deeper understanding of the proposal format and the key issues they are required to address in planning and writing their proposal.
Who should attend?
The sessions will be of particular interest to UK-based researchers who are interested in and/or are planning to submit a proposal for European Research Council, Starting Independent Researcher Grant in FP7. The events will focus on the Starting Independent Researcher Grants.
Please note that a separate series of information and proposal writing events for the European Research Council Advanced Investigator Grants will be held later in 2007. If you would like to receive e-mail notifications on future UK NCP events and updates on the European Research Council, please fill in the form.
