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.
