Description

The International R&D Office of the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea organizes next May 14 at the School of Engineering of Bilbao a course on the European Research Council-ERC grants.

The ERC is a program that provides attractive long-term funding to support research staff and their teams with the aim of developing high-risk, high-gain research, with scientific excellence being the sole evaluation criterion. There are three individual grant schemes (Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grants), a group grant scheme (Synergy Grant) and a scheme to explore the commercialization or social potential of results obtained in ERC projects (Proof of Concept).

During the workshop, specific aspects of the scientific proposal and the principal investigator in the different ERC panels will be discussed. In particular, a good understanding of the general application and selection process will be provided, as well as useful tips for writing parts B1 and B2. The workshop will be of great use to applicants wishing to submit a proposal to the upcoming ERC calls. The workshop is intended to be highly interactive and practical.
