The National Contact Point ERC (NCP ERC) organises interview trainings for the Consolidator-Grant 2022. The NCP ERC will provide trainings for applicants of all three domains (PE, LS and SSH).
Link to Registration Part 1 and Part 2
There will be a general information webinar (Part I) for all candidates. Here, a professional coach will provide general tips and guidelines for the online interview process. In addition, you will receive information on the state of evaluation and statistical basics. After a practical report from a successful grantee, you will have the opportunity to ask questions. The number of participants for the general training is not limited.
Individual coaching in small groups is also offered. In a virtual mock panel, the interview situation is rehearsed with the participants. The number of participants is limited to 6 per training session. Participants should have attended the general information webinar (Part I).
If you already have access to individual coaching elsewhere, we kindly ask you to make use of this possibility and to keep the NCP ERC training free for colleagues who do not have this opportunity.
All trainings are conducted online and in English. Participation in the trainings is free of charge.
