The ERC supports excellent research and attracts the world's best researchers to pursue their careers in the EU or in the Associated Countries to Horizon Europe.
Together with the Horizon Europe National Office and the ERC National Contact Point (NCP) in Georgia, the ERC will organise a webinar to inform about its funding schemes. An ERC Scientific Officer will present the different calls, the rules for participation and the evaluation process as well as some examples of funded projects while the ERC NCP in Georgia will explain the different actions to support applicants. Participants will also get advice on how to prepare a project proposal from ERC laureates.
Following the presentations and testimonials, there will be an opportunity for participants to interact with the speakers in a Q&A session.
