11/09/2014 - Course: The Successful ERC Applicant (Denmark)

A course for excellent researchers who wish to realise a ground-breaking research idea through a grant from the ERC. Furthermore, the course is relevant for research administrators and consultants who support applicants.

The course is targeting the following ERC grant schemes: Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant and Advanced Grant.

Course content:
Proposals for the ERC differ from the rest of Horizon 2020 as focus is solely on the excellent research idea and the profile of the principal investigator, including his/her CV and track-record. For Starting Grant and Consolidator Grant the evaluation process also includes a personal interview with the applicant.

The course will focus on:
- The ERC proposal requirements in relation to project idea, publication list and CV
- The evaluation criteria
- The experiences of ERC evaluators and successful ERC applicants
- The role of the host institution in relation to an ERC project.
