Deadlines
The ERC-2012-StG Starting Grant Call opened on 20 July 2011.
There are three separate deadlines, one per research domain: - Physical Sciences and Engineering domain (Panels PE1 - PE10) - 12 October 2011 - Life Sciences domain (Panels LS1 - LS9) - 9 November 2011 - Social Sciences and Humanities domain (Panels SH1 - SH6) - 24 November 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) and will focus on the application process for the ERC Starting 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 a Starting Grant proposal. There will be opportunities to ask questions during each session.
Who should attend?
The sessions will be of particular interest to UK-based researchers planning to submit a proposal for the ERC Starting Grants.
