Writing Workshop Synergy Grants (In Person - Limited Spots)
Writing workshops are dedicated to researchers currently applying or wishing to apply to one of the research institutes in the Aix Marseille perimeter. Participants bring their own project ideas and learn to structure them in line with the ERC grant types. The workshop offers hands-on guidance to refine your Synergy proposal.
Requirements: to have a well drafted idea and proposal, to be engaged in an application process to an ERC upcoming call, to be eligible to that call, and to have sent the required written documents to the trainer a couple of weeks before the workshop (e.g., hypothesis, reply to some questions sent by the coach...). A selection of participants will take place a few weeks before the event, paying attention to achieve a reasonable balance among gender, topics, Tutelles, other diversity aspects.
