The next call for the European Research Council Starting Grant (ERC-2010-StG) has a call deadline of 28 Oct 2009 for PE, 18 Nov 2009 for SH and 9 Dec 2009 for LS. This workshop will inform you about ERC grants with special focus on the Starting Grant.

Project proposals are evaluated on the sole criterion of excellence and can include high risk, interdisciplinary projects. There are no restrictions on the nationality of the principal investigators to be funded, but they must carry out their research within the European Union and associated countries.
Workshop Topics include:
- Introduction
