The Network of National Contact Points for the ERC (mERCury) is organizing an online workshop focused on preparing proposals for the ERC Advanced Grant call. The webinar “Towards an ERC Advanced Grant: from groundbreaking idea to successful proposal” is intended for researchers considering submitting a project to the ERC Advanced Grant.
The workshop will guide participants through the entire process—from formulating a truly groundbreaking research idea to understanding the European Research Council’s (ERC) evaluation process.
This is a valuable opportunity for anyone who wants to better understand the ERC’s expectations and improve the quality of their project proposals.
