Abstract:

As the premier European funding organization for excellent frontier 
research, the European Research Council (ERC) supports 
investigator-driven frontier research, including collaborative projects, 
across all domains of science, Physical and Engineering Sciences, Life 
Sciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities, through various funding 
schemes for all career stages, fostering excellence and empowering 
scientists to revolutionize their fields.  Led by an ERCEA Scientific 
Officer, a former computational chemist and DFT enthusiast, this 
workshop aims at introducing the funding schemes of ERC, demystifying 
its application and evaluation processes, clarifying anecdotes, 
showcasing key recent and upcoming changes in the ERC Work Programme, 
and, most importantly, at providing practical advice to investigators on 
how and how not to successfully compete for ERC funding. Also, the 
possibilities offered by the ERC funding schemes to finance 
collaborators that are vital for the implementation of the project, 
together with the most relevant statistics will be discussed.

The workshop will conclude with a Q&A session.
