Course: The successful ERC applicant, Copenhagen
16 June 2016 - 16 June 2016
Denmark
A course for….
Excellent researchers who wish to realize a ground-breaking research idea through a grant from the ERC. Furthermore, the course is relevant for research administrators and consultants who support applicants.
The course targets the following ERC grant schemes:
- Starting grant
- Consolidator grant
- Advanced grant.
Course content
Proposals for the ERC are different from the rest of Horizon 2020 as the focus is solely on the excellent research idea and the profile of the principal investigator, including his/her CV and track-record. For Starting Grant and Consolidator Grant the evaluation process also includes a personal interview with the applicant.
The course will focus on:
– The ERC proposal requirements in relation to project idea and research profile of the principal
investigator
– The evaluation criteria
– The experiences of ERC evaluators and successful ERC applicants
– The role of the host institution in relation to an ERC project
Output
The course will focus on ERC proposal writing and provide advice, tools, and inspiration for your own grant proposal. Based on our experience we will address the challenges – and the common mistakes of the proposal writing. Drawing upon evaluators and successful applicants (of which two will be present at the course) we will offer you insights into the evaluation criteria and the factors that determine the fate of an ERC application.
The course will give you a clear understanding of:
- How the concepts ”ground-breaking research”, “high risk/high gain”, and “impact” are to be understood in the context of the ERC. That will enable you to address them in the right way in your own proposal.
- The different parts of the ERC proposal, what to focus on, and how to prioritize the time spent
on the proposal writing.
- The formal ERC evaluation criteria and the informal expectations of the evaluators. This will
sharpen your ability to meet the eligibility criteria.
- How best to prepare for the ERC interview.
- The informal requirements that can make your proposal stand out.
