ERC Advanced Grants - Registration Open for Information and Proposal Writing Events
The UK Research Office – in its capacity as UK National Contact Point (NCP) for the European Research Council (ERC) – and in partnership with institutions from across the UK, will hold a series of information events for researchers (based in the UK or moving to the UK) interested in applying for the ERC Advanced Grants:
- - University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Friday 28th November 2008
- - Durham University, Monday 8th December 2008
- - University of Oxford, Thursday 11 December 2008
- - University of Birmingham, Friday 12th December 2008
- - University of Greenwich, London, Wednesday 17th December 2008
The aim of each session is to provide participants with an overview of the ERC in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), focusing on the Advanced Grant scheme. Participants should gain a deeper understanding of the proposal format and the key issues they are required to address in planning, writing and costing an Advanced Grant proposal.
The sessions will be of particular interest to UK-based researchers planning to submit a proposal for the ERC Advanced Grants. Attendance will be free of charge, thanks to the support provided by the hosting organisations. (Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.)
Two identical sessions will be held at each venue, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please note it is only necessary to attend one session. Both sessions will provide an overview of the ERC and will focus the application process for the ERC Advanced Grants. There will be opportunities to ask questions during each session.
Morning session: The morning session will start at 09:30 promptly (with registration from 9.10) and close at 13.00.
Afternoon session: The afternoon session will start at 14:00 promptly (with registration from 13.40) and close at 17.30
