You'll get an overview of the European Research Council’s (ERC) mission to support frontier research, along with concrete insights into the various types of grants, evaluation criteria, key timelines, and anticipated changes to the 2026 Work Programme.
Clarissa Gomes, European Funding Advisor and ERC National Contact Point at Luxinnovation, will explain the different ERC grant schemes and eligibility requirements. She will also outline the evaluation process, share best practices for writing strong proposals, and present the support services available — including the ERC Mentoring Initiative.
In addition, Dr. Florian Kaiser, recipient of an ERC Consolidator Grant from the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), will share his personal experience as a successful applicant, offering valuable tips and perspectives for future candidates.
The session will close with a dedicated Q&A, giving participants the chance to engage directly with the speakers.
Whether you're new to ERC or getting ready for your next submission, this webinar will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
