ERC Starting Grant Training 2025: June 12th, 2024 (full day)

If you are planning to submit an ERC StG 2025 application, you are cordially invited to attend the Yellow Research training day on June 12^th

 

In this training, we will explain in detail the meaning of the evaluation criteria related to the project. In particular, finding the balance between ambitious objectives / new concepts and feasibility will be discussed. Furthermore, we will discuss the panel specifics concerning the quality of the CV and track-record of ERC grantees. What is the norm per panel and what does this mean for the CVs of the participants? What “actions” do participants have to highlight or undertake to bring their CV in line with the expectations of the selected panel?

During the workshop, we will start with a brief Q&A session, addressing any possible questions about the online tutorial. The main topic of the morning programme is how to develop an excellent ERC project which addresses all the evaluation criteria related to the scientific project as well as the ERC objectives. We will also explain how to choose the right panel and keywords and explain the team.

In the afternoon, we are going to focus on how to actually write a competitive proposal. We will start with the CV-part of the proposal, including the funding ID and the EATR / EATR, keeping in mind the different scientific backgrounds of the candidates. Next, we will discuss the full scientific proposal(B2). We will finish with the Extended Synopsis, using our concept of the “logic tree”. We will end the day with a discussion and the opportunity to ask questions.

This workshop is primarily intended for researchers who have the ambition to submit and ERC Starting grant proposal. Participants may bring a printed copy of their CV and Track Record (preferably in ERC format) to the training for a peer review.
