The Estonian Research Council, the State Education Development Agency of the Republic of Latvia and the Research Council of Lithuania, together with the European Research Council have organised this Information Day that will offer participants a chance to meet the people “behind the ERC”.
The aim of the event is to encourage researchers to apply, offering them the tailored information, debunking myths, and introducing everyone to other grantees and their experiences. From the people who organise the evaluations, all the way down to successful grantees, participants will have the chance to get to know the ERC and demystify perceptions.
The day will also include a capacity building workshop, aimed at informing research managers and officers from research institutions about the best ways to support potential ERC applicants.
