ERC Advanced and Synergy Grants – UK Information and Proposal Writing Events
In its capacity as UK National Contact Point (NCP) for the European Research Council (ERC), the UK Research Office, in partnership with institutions from across the UK, is holding a series of information events for researchers who are based in or moving to the UK and are interested in applying for the ERC Advanced Grants or Synergy Grants. The sessions will be of particular interest to UK-based researchers planning to submit a proposal for the Advanced Grants or Synergy Grants.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and the events will take place at:
- University of Edinburgh, Thursday 1 December 2011
- University College London, Friday 2 December 2011
- University of Manchester, Wednesday 14 December 2011
- Royal Veterinary College, University of London, Thursday 15 December 2011
Aim of each session
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 Grants and Synergy Grants schemes. 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 and Synergy Grant proposal. Attendance will be free of charge, thanks to the support from the organisations hosting the events.
