Reaching the frontier: How to achieve success with the ERC
Thursday, May 27, 2010 - 16h-19h
Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona
Organized by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona)
The European Research Council (ERC) was established in 2007 as the first European funding body set up to support investigator-driven frontier research. With a budget of nearly 7.5 billion euros over 7 years, the ERC is committed to helping the very best researchers push the boundaries of knowledge and disciplines to engage in truly cutting-edge science.
The ERC is a powerful mechanism to drive research of excellence and its establishment has brought with it huge potential and huge expectations. The first call in 2007 was met with a staggering 9167 applications for the coveted 250 grants available. With such steep competition, what are the factors that make the difference? Which characteristics must a researcher have to tap into this important resource? What role do universities, research institutes, regions and governments play and how can they contribute to chances for success?
The aim of this Barcelona BioMed Forum is to bring together key players from the ERC, together with local and national science policy makers, as well as researchers who have received ERC grants to examine the factors that have enabled them to take advantage of this important resource.
There is no registration fee for this event, but participants must register. All sessions will take place in English.
This event is organized in conjunction with the ISE Conference: ERC – From Programme to Institution, to be held at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans on Friday, May 28. See event webpage.
