This is an important
prior notification for all principal investigators (PIs)
planning to participate in the upcoming Kvantum
research project call for 2021-2024. Those who are planning to apply are requested to preregister according to the
instructions given later in May. The preregistration material is due to the selection process of independent experts for the evaluation panel by the Academy of Finland. Only PIs preregistered are eligible. The proposed research projects should represent well-focused research of high international quality within the
University's strategic focus areas of
Earth
and near-space system and environmental change or
Creating
sustainability through materials and systems
coordinated by Kvantum Insitute. The Principal Investigator(s) (PI) should: The PI(s) and other researchers in the project should be affiliated with the University of Oulu, and the team must work at the University of Oulu; the project PI(s) has or negotiates
an affiliation with the University. This has to be clearly indicated in the actual application. Only one application per researcher is accepted.
The application process includes two stages:
Preregistration documents will include: 1. Information sheet
(responsible PI and other possible PIs)
The preregistration material is used only for the selection of evaluator candidates by the Academy of Finland and it is not part of the evaluation process and its materials, and
it is not provided to the evaluator panel. Those preregistered may change the type of application (a research consortium or an individual PI) for the actual call, but
all names should be known for the evaluator pool selection process. Further information:
Yellow Research Workshop: Writing Successful ERC Proposals 14.6. at 8:30 – 13:30 Room: AT 115 A Note ! The training is important for those who intend to apply for an ERC grant. In this workshop, we will discuss the ERC and panel specifics for the scientific proposal and Principal Investigator. The deadlines for submitting a proposal is in August, 2019 (Advanced), October 2019 (Starting) early
February 2020 (Consolidator). The workshop aims to provide researchers with a good understanding of: the evaluation criteria and how to analyse them; what makes an excellent PI according to the reviewers of the different domains/panels; how to write a competitive
scientific proposal considering panel specifics and type of project. Focus of the workshop will be on the ERC scientific proposal. Therefore, the participants are expected to familiarise themselves with the general ERC participation rules and eligibility
criteria beforehand. More information in the
ERC Work Programme. Programme:
8:30 Welcome coffee and start of the training
Scientific Proposal We use the project template to explain per paragraph ‘state-of the-art and objectives’, ‘methodology’ and ‘resources’:
-
What needs to be addressed for the in depth reviewer
-
How to address this: What kind of conceptualizing is needed to tell the story
We will detail how to address: 1) groundbreaking nature and ambition 2) the high gain and high risk balance and the link to feasibility of the scientific approach 3) the envisioned impact on future research
and possibilities of utility 4) sound project plan and structure with intermediate goals and back-up plans.
11:00 Lunch 11:45 Continuation: Scientific Proposal
13:00 Q&A and end of the workshop Registration by 7 June: https://www.webropolsurveys.com/S/E0141CB99A38A456.par
