ERC Interview Trainings – Preparing for the ERC Synergy Grant Interview

The National Contact Point ERC (NCP ERC) will offer interview trainings in August 2026 for ERC Synergy Grant candidates who have been invited to the interview stage.

The trainings are designed for Synergy Grant Groups wishing to prepare for their panel interview in Brussels. Each online session brings together two groups from all research domains and provides the opportunity to simulate the interview in a realistic setting. A representative of the NCP ERC will take part in the training.

Participants are asked to organize their own mock panel, for example by involving colleagues, team members, or institutional support. The trainings will be held online and in English, and participation is free of charge.

Further details on dates and registration will be announced via the ERC Newsletter of the NCP ERC.
