Workshop - European Research Council (ERC)

This workshop is organised in cooperation with the National Contact Point for the ERC (KoWi).

It addresses outstanding researchers with a track-record of significant research achievements of the last 10 years. An ERC Advanced Grant allows the principal investigator and his/her research group to pursue a ground-breaking, high-risk project that opens new directions with a funding of up to 2.5 Mio € over 5 years. Deadline of the call will be on 21 October 2014.

The workshop provides information on the general principals of the ERC and the next call. In addition to that, a Principal Investigator and Panel Chair will give useful tips.

Speakers:
Prof. Dr. Thomas Langer, Vice-Rector for Research and Junior Scholars at the University of Cologne
Ulrike Kreger, National Contact Point for ERC (KoWi)
Prof. Dr. Manolis Pasparakis, Principal Investigator of an ERC Advanced Grant (2012) &  ERC Panel Chair (LS4), University of Cologne

The workshop will be held in English.
