This compact course unifies four expert-led videos into a single, end-to-end guide for preparing a successful European Research Council (ERC) proposal. You’ll learn how to craft compelling research narratives in Parts B1 and B2, structure Part A correctly, and present your CV and track record to strengthen credibility. An insider walkthrough demystifies how ERC panels are formed, how proposals are reviewed, and what matters at each decision point—so you can target reviewer expectations. You’ll also get practical strategies to prepare and deliver a focused interview, handle challenging Q&A, and avoid common pitfalls. Finally, the ethics module shows how to identify issues early, complete the ethics self-assessment, and meet ERC requirements. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap, concrete checklists, and actionable tips to raise the quality and competitiveness of your submission.

Open access course with no certification.
