Planning to participate in the ERC Call 2021? Join the Yellow Research online-training

First European Research Council (ERC) calls of the new programming period can open only after the expected adoption of the 2021-2027 EU budget and of the Horizon Europe regulation. This means that all mono-beneficiary ERC calls (Starting, Consolidator, Advanced Grants, PoC) are postponed and expected to be launched only in January 2021. See tentative call dates below.

To provide preliminary information and help researchers start preparing their proposals for the first ERC calls under Horizon Europe, Research and Project Services is organising ERC Call 2021 Online-Training with Yellow Research. The online training will include two live webinars with Yellow Research expert Lotte Jaspers. In addition, the registered participants will have access to video tutorials and online materials supporting the proposal preparation.

15.10.2020 9:30-12:00 Webinar 1 will focus on creating the right mindset for submitting an ERC grant. What is it that the panels expect? How to strategically approach the design of the project? In other words, utilizing the time to your submission to generate the convincing argumentation that will allow the reviewers to understand why this ambitious project is potentially feasible

05.11.2020 14:00-16:30 Webinar 2 will follow up on webinar 1 by guiding you systematically through the different parts of the proposal writing.

The combination of the two webinars will provide a roadmap to submission tackling any stumbling blocks in writing your ERC grant. The remote access to the additional materials allows you to be flexible and use the materials while planning and preparing your proposal. Register your participation to the online training by 14.10. https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/0AE332B7690F3C54
