To introduce the European Research Council, the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research, and to encourage the participants to apply for an ERC research grant under one of the main grant schemes (Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant, Advanced Grant and Synergy Grant).
Description
The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence. Since 2007, ERC funded more than 12 000 projects and over 10 000 researchers. More than 200 000 articles were published in scientific journals. 12 Nobel Prizes, 6 Fields Medals, 11 Wolf Prizes and dozens of important prizes were awarded to ERC grantees. This workshop is inviting you to become part of this successful story.
