How to secure ERC funding

A recording of the session is now available here.

Jointly led by UEA and Kent, this session looked at how to put together a successful European Research Council (ERC) proposal.

The ERC was set up by the EU in 2007 and is the premiere European funding organisation for excellent frontier research.

It provides attractive and flexible funding to enable talented and creative individual researchers, with an emphasis on early stage researchers, and their teams to pursue the most promising avenues at the frontier of science, on the basis of EU-wide competition based solely on the criterion of excellence.

This session will provide a brief overview of the ERC, but will primarily hear from two academics who have had funding from the Council, what their experience was, and what they believe made the difference.
