ERC Online Infoday, December 10, 2020

The European Research Council (ERC), through its different funding schemes (Starting, Consolidator, Advanced), offers individual funding to conduct frontier research on topics proposed by the researchers.
The deadlines foreseen in the first Horizon Europe Work Programme (ERC-WP-2021) are the following:
Starting Grant: March 9, 2021 (tbc) / Consolidator Grant: April 20, 2021 (tbc) /Advanced Grant: August 31, 2021 (tbc).

The infoday, targeted to postdocs, researchers and professors of the Politecnico di Torino, aims to provide an overview of the opportunities offered by the ERC, to illustrate the key features of an ERC idea and of a Principal Investigator profile, to present the novelty of the program in Horizon Europe and the support offered to our candidates and winners.

The workshop will be held by Dr. Onorato, who has been the ERC program advisor since 2012, with the participation of Prof. Bella who will present his experience as winner of an ERC Starting Grant 2020.
