As part of the ERC-UPSaclay support, two online sessions for candidates from the Université Paris-Saclay perimeter (and Institut Polytechnique de Paris) wishing to apply to the ERC Advanced Grant call 2025 are organised on March 24 & 25, 2025.

These sessions will be composed of two phases:
Plenary session 1 on March 24, 2025:
• 9.00 a.m - 11.15 a.m: General introduction of the ERC Advanced Grant call 2025. The objective is to provide an overview of the evaluation criteria, submission process, and ERC panels.
• 11:30 a.m - 13:00 p.m: Round-table discussion, in which experts, ERC laureates and European Affairs Officers will participate. This will be an opportunity for you to benefit from advice from different stakeholders and to ask any questions you may have.

Plenary session 2 on March 25, 2025:
• 9.00 a.m - 11:30 a.m: Advices on how to write a proposal. The aim is to provide writing guidelines and best practices to prepare and optimize your grant application: Parts B1 and B2. A time for questions and answers will be set at the end of the session.

You will also be able to benefit from a one-hour individual online interview with one of our ERC experts about your project idea. The interviews will take place on March 31th and April 2nd, 2025. After registering, we will get back to you with the details of the interview. Please indicate in the "comments" part of the form if you have any particular availability during this period (morning, afternoon).
Please note: if you are not available on March 31th and April 2nd, 2025, you will be able to benefit from an online interview at a later date. Please make sure to indicate this on the registration form.

Registration is free but mandatory.

Your attention: the webinar as well as the individual interviews are reserved for researchers, teacher-researchers and adminstrative staff within the perimeter of the Université Paris-Saclay (as well as the Institut Polytechnique de Paris).
The sessions will be held as a webinar. We will send the final program and the link to connect online to all registrants a few days before the session.
