The NCP ERC Interview Training

1.Virtual Interview Training – Part I

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.

2.Virtual Interview Training – Part II (limited number of participants)

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.

Registration will open on July 4, 2023 at 10 a.m. on this page.

The dates are based on the ERCEA interview schedule, so that you still have enough time for individual preparation after the training for the interviews in Brussels/online.
