EURAXESS North America and the European Research Council Executive Agency are offering a webinar on ERC grants. The ERC is the premier European funding organization for excellent frontier research supporting investigator-driven frontier research across all fields. It awards research grants to scientists and scholars from all over the world, both early-career and senior researchers, carrying out their ambitious research projects in all scientific disciplines in Europe.  NOTE: For most ERC grants, there are European residency requirements for the PI, however it is possible to have team members outside the EU.

Particular attention will be given to the ERC Synergy Grants, which allow one of the team (co-PI) to be based anywhere in the world, including outside of Europe. Open to all research fields.

The webinar is free but advance registration is required.
