ERC Funding Opportunities: Supporting excellent researchers all over Europe
The event will thus try to convene the representatives of national institutions relevant for successful application to the ERC and bring them together with potential ERC candidates, as well as with the ERC Scientific Council members and staff from the ERC Executive Agency, to discuss together the best possible ways of supporting outstanding scientist in your country and help them successfully apply to the ERC.
With the ERC widening European participation events the ERC Scientific Council plans to open a forum for dialogue, exchange of experiences, networking, and learning about good practices among different stakeholders relevant for successful application to the ERC.
