ERC Interview Trainings – Preparing for the ERC Advanced Grant Interview

In 2026, the National Contact Point ERC (NCP ERC) will again offer interview trainings for applicants of the ERC Advanced Grants 2025 who have been invited to the second step of the evaluation process.

The trainings are designed for researchers who wish to prepare specifically for their interview with the ERC panel. In small groups, participants will have the opportunity to rehearse their interview in a realistic setting. Experienced trainers will provide individual feedback on presentation, content, and performance. A representative of the NCP ERC will also take part in the training.

The trainings will take place online and in English in February 2026. Participation is free of charge.

Detailed information on dates and registration will be announced in due course via the ERC Newsletter of the NCP ERC.
