Aim of the event
UKRO, in its capacity as UK National Contact Point for the European Research Council (ERC), is organising a webinar for researchers who have been retained for Step 2 in ongoing ERC evaluation processes and thus have been invited to be interviewed by the expert panels.
The webinar will provide participants with a practical overview of the interview stage in ERC evaluation processes. These take place for the Starting, Consolidator, Advanced and Synergy Grant schemes in the ERC programme. We aim to support attendants with tips on how to prepare, description of what the meetings with the panel involve and other factors to consider such as remote presentation skills.
The webinar will not be specific to any of the calls in particular because there is no significant difference for this part of the evaluation process between Starting, Consolidator & now Advanced Grants. However, we do understand that the applicants at the different stages might tend to experience the interviews differently so we will design the webinar to be helpful and inclusive to a range of perspectives.
Who should attend?
The sessions are aimed at:
- researchers who have been or may yet be invited to Step 2 of the evaluation process for the 2021 Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grant calls.
- research support staff who will be supporting these applicants.
