The ERC National Contact Point supports ERC Synergy Grant interview candidates in preparing for their interview, which will take place in Brussels again this year.
We offer the interview trainings both online and in person in Bonn. Two Synergy Grant Groups can participate in each training. The training sessions are open-domain. Together, the two groups have a maximum of two and a half hours in which to simulate their interview. In addition to two colleagues from the NCP ERC, the mock panel should definitely be supplemented by colleagues from the Synergy Grant Group during online training. Please make sure that you as a group are responsible for putting together a mock panel for an online interview training. Ask colleagues, team members and administrative supporters from your institution. In the case of face-to-face training, you are free to decide whether colleagues accompany you for the mock panel. These additional colleagues can also be connected in hybrid mode.
The dates are limited and are primarily aimed at ERC Synergy Grant Groups with a German corresponding host institution that have received an invitation to an interview. If you are a group without a German corresponding host institution, but with German participation, please register via the waiting list. If there are still places available, you are welcome to move up. Please come to the online trainings as well as to the face-to-face trainings in Bonn as a complete Synergy Grant Group.
For the online trainings you will receive an invitation link for the video conferencing tool a few days before the training. We use WebEx for this. Please make sure that you are allowed to use this tool and that the dial-in link is available to all PIs of your Synergy Grant Group and forwarded to all panel members organized by you.
The following dates are available for online training:
The following dates are available for face-to-face training in Bonn:
Registration is possible from 30.07.2024 at 09:00 and ends on 12.08.2024 (if not fully booked before). The registration website can be accessed from this date via the following link. Please have your interview invitation, Annex I and B1 of your application ready when registering, as these documents must be uploaded. Optionally you can upload B2 as well. We recommend that you register directly after the start of registration. Please refrain from sending individual registrations by e-mail before registration opens.
Registration is initially subject to change. After a review by the NCP ERC, you will receive a binding acceptance or rejection.
