Events for ERC Starting Grant applicants in the 2023 call

ERC Starting Grants workshop

Research Services invites you to our ERC Starting Grants workshop on 30 May. The workshop is open to researchers who are planning to apply for an ERC Starting Grant (StG) with Lund University as their host institution. The workshop is run by Yellow Research, a consultancy firm with extensive experience in running ERC workshops and in pre-submission review of ERC Grants. It will provide participants with an in-depth overview and practical information on the ERC Starting Grant scheme. Participants should gain a deeper understanding of the proposal format and the key issues relating to planning, writing and costing a proposal.

You are welcome to register for this workshop if you are planning to apply for an ERC StG in the next call (call 2023) with Lund University as your host institution, or if you are interested in applying for an ERC grant in the future. The workshop will be held over Zoom, in English.

Date: Monday, 30 May, from 9.00 to 15:00.
Venue: Zoom

Extra session and training camp for ERC Starting Grants

Apart from the ERC workshop on 30 May, Research Services will arrange two connected events with the aim of giving ERC StG applicants an extra boost in the 2023 call. You are welcome to register for these activities if you are planning to apply for an ERC Starting Grant in the 2023 call.

On 10 June we have arranged an extra session to help you kick-start your proposal writing, and to receive feedback on your CV/Track Record. The session is in preparation for the ERC training camp later in late summer. In order to attend this session on 10 June, you must submit a short project synopsis, CV and track record (2 pages each, in total max 6 pages) by 6 June at 12:00. Details on where to submit this material will be included in your confirmation email for attendance at the extra session in the beginning ofJune. This session will be held in person in Lund.

Date: Friday, 10 June, from 9.00 to 12:00.
Venue: tbc, Lund

In the week of 22 – 26 August there will be a two-day training camp (dates tbc) where you can receive valuable information from ERC evaluators and ERC grantees, as well as get feedback on your draft proposal. To attend this training camp, you must provide a draft proposal (section B1 of the application, including CV and Track Record) by 15 August. Submission details will be included when we confirm the dates and format of the training camp. Please note that you may only attend the ERC training camp once.

Date: 2 days between 22 – 26 August
Venue: Tbc

MSCA Doctoral Networks webinar 2022

Doctoral Networks are projects implementing doctoral programmes by partnerships of universities, infrastructures, businesses etc. from different countries across Europe and beyond. These doctoral programmes will respond to well-identified needs in various research and innovation areas, expose the researchers to the academic and non-academic sectors, and offer research training, as well as transferable skills and competences relevant for innovation and long-term employability.

The Recruited researchers must be recruited from another country (mobility rule). All research fields are eligible. EU funds salaries, research and training costs of the doctoral students for 36 months. The duration of the doctoral network programme is 48 months.

Aim: The webinar aims to give an overview of the programme and offer a possibility for the participants to ask and discuss strategic questions regarding the planning and writing of the proposal. The webinar will also provide you with contact information to the research support staff at the participating universities.
