Series of events on applying for ERC Starting Grants, various locations

The UK Research Office (UKRO) is organising a series of information events for researchers, based in the UK or moving to the UK, who are interested in applying for European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grants.

The aim of each session is to provide participants with an overview of the ERC in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), focusing on the Starting Grant scheme. Attendees also should gain a deeper understanding of the proposal format and the key issues in planning, writing and costing a Starting Grant proposal.

The sessions will be held in the following locations:
- University of Sheffield, 3 September 2009;
- Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, 7 September 2009;
- Royal Veterinary College, University of London, 14 September 2009;
- University of Cambridge, 21 September 2009;
- Brunel University, London, 22 September 2009.

The Starting Grant call opened on 30 July 2009, with deadlines in autumn 2009.For further information, please visit:
