ERC Info Day for Widening Participation

Research support teams at universities or other institutions play a key role in the process of applying for ERC grants. They can help researchers and scholars build competitive grant proposals. 

That’s why the ERC is hosting this info session for grant officers, project managers and other staff supporting researchers in developing, writing and submitting grant proposals to the ERC.   

This info day is specifically designed for the staff based in countries hosting few ERC grantees, i.e. countries covered by policy measures to widen their participation in Horizon Europe programme.

Registration is needed in order to attend.
