Preparatory webinars

ERC 2022 Advanced grant call

​

SCOPE

 

Our online webinars inform potential applicants about the ERC-2022-AdG call and provide them with important tools to help prepare competitive proposals. The webinar is structured along two different tracks: 


"Call in-depth analysis": We start off by explaining the unique focus and context of the ERC calls, while also analysing the application and review process. Focus is on the "bigger picture": i.e. the scope and aim of the call, the evaluation criterion (in-depth), the profile of the reviewers, etc. We also go through the characteristics of a competitive ERC AdG applicant and what type of projects the evaluators are looking for.


"Best Practices": We then continue by providing hands-on tips and best practices for how to prepare parts B1 and B2 of the application. Here we propose specific subsections to be used in B1 and in B2, to help structure and focus the proposal in a logical and convincing way. We also provide best practices and go through common mistakes.  

 

To encourage and facilitate interaction with the audience we recommend a maximum of 20 participants per session.
