Information on the Reading Day:

 

On the Reading Day applicants will get the opportunity to read successful ERC grant proposals in order to see how a proposal might be structured. About 30 ERC-grantees from Finnish Host Institutions have given their kind consent to make their proposal available for the reading day.

• This is an on-site event, organized at the Research Council of Finland (former: Academy of Finland) premises, Hakaniemenkatu 2, Helsinki.
• There will be two separate sessions, at 9-12 and 13-16, both accommodating 30 persons. One can register only to one of these.
• The ERC Proposal Reading Day will be open only for researchers from Finnish Host Institutions. If there are vacant places available after the registration deadline, we will inform the Research Services about their possibility to attend.
• The proposals are available as paper copies on the Proposal Reading Day. One can preselect up to two proposals. This is done in the registration form. Subject to availability, it will be possible to read copies of other applications during the Reading Day. 
• Attendance only by registration which is binding. If one signs up, but cannot attend after all, one is requested to deregister before the registration deadline.
• The participants must sign Declaration of Secrecy (attached).
• Photocopying or taking photos of the applications is not allowed.
• Applications cannot be taken out of the reading room.
• This is a quiet individual reading session. It does not include tutorials about the ERC. To participate one should be familiar with the ERC grant schemes, as well as the conditions for participation listed here.
