Date: Wednesday, 8 July 2026
Time: 11:00 – 14:30 CET
Format: Live workshop on Zoom
Price: EUR 350

Why Attend

ERC Advanced Grant proposals are often decided on two elements:

• The B1 extended synopsis

• The Principal Investigator’s track record

Both require a very specific style of writing — one that demonstrates intellectual ambition, high-risk/high-gain thinking, and scientific leadership.

This live 3.5-hour workshop gives you direct evaluator-style coaching on both sections, using mark-ups based on funded proposal patterns and the updated 5-page Part I structure.

You leave with:

• A stronger B1 narrative

• A clearer positioning of novelty and ambition

• Better framing of high-risk/high-gain methodology

• A more strategic presentation of your track record

• A refined institutional support narrative

• A free pre-submission evaluation before submission

This is live proposal work, not a lecture.

Is This For You?

A good fit if you are:

• A senior Principal Investigator with 10+ years of post-PhD experience preparing an ERC Advanced Grant application

• A university or research institute office supporting ERC AdG candidates

• Ready to bring at least:

  • The research concept, and

  • A draft outline of the B1 section

Not the right fit if:

• The candidate’s profile aligns better with ERC Starting Grant (StG) or Consolidator Grant (CoG)

In that case, the introductory webinar is the better place to confirm programme fit.
