The first part of the event will provide a general introduction to the 7th European Research Framework Programme (FP7). Participants will learn about the general structure of FP7 as well as about the distinctly different approaches (“top-down” and “bottom-up”) used in different parts of the programme.
A special focus will be put on the European Research Council (ERC) which, for the first time in the history of the European Framework Programmes, funds groundbreaking research projects with what the European Commission refers to as “frontier research”.
In the second part of the event, two parallel workshops will take place. One workshop will focus on the application process in FP7 in general whereas in the other workshop the ERC Grant schemes (esp. the ERC Starting Grants) will be discussed.
Both workshops will address individual questions of the application process with many examples and practical exercises.
