ERC Grants Webinars
About
The British Academy runs webinars for UK-based researchers in the humanities and social sciences interested in applying for European Research Council (ERC) grants, led by British Academy Fellows who have experience with ERC Grants and panels.
The aim of these webinars is to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the proposal and evaluation format and the key issues they are required to address in planning, writing, and costing a proposal.
These webinars are part of the British Academy's European Research and Collaboration programme.
Next webinar: ERC Starting Grants, 28 September
The British Academy will be holding its next webinar for UK-based researchers in the humanities and social sciences interested in applying for European Research Council (ERC) grants on Monday, 28 September, from 14:30-16:00 (BST).
This webinar will focus on the ERC Starting Grants Call, opening in July 2026.
The webinar will be led by Professor Patrick Haggard FBA and British Academy Fellows who have experience with ERC Grants and panels.
The aim of the webinar is to provide participants with a deeper understanding of the proposal and evaluation format and the key issues they are required to address in planning, writing, and costing a proposal.
There is an opportunity to have your B1 draft proposal reviewed by the panel. If selected, your B1 proposal will be discussed during the webinar (all names and personal details will be removed).
Please note that not all B1 proposals will be reviewed; however, the guidance provided is designed to benefit all attendees.

If you would like to submit a B1 draft proposal to be considered for feedback during the webinar, please register your interest on the registration form and send your B1 draft to Barbora Krasova ([email protected]) no later than Thursday, 17 September 12:00 (midday).
