The National Contact Point ERC supports ERC Synergy Grant Interview candidates in preparing their interview.

Registration is closed as the trainings, including the waiting list, are fully booked.

The National Contact Point ERC supports ERC Synergy Grant Interview candidates in preparing their interview.

The interview trainings are offered online as well as on-site in Bonn-Oberkassel. A maximum of two hours is available per Synergy Grant Group, in order to simulate and train an interview situation. In addition to two colleagues from the NCP ERC, the mock panel should also comprise colleagues from the Synergy Grant Group in the case of an online training. Please mind that you as a group are responsible for organizing a mock panel for the online training.

The dates are limited and are primarily targeted at ERC Synergy Grant Groups with a German corresponding host institution that have received an invitation for an interview. If you are a group without a German corresponding host institution but with German participation, please register via the waiting list. If places become available, you are welcome to get one of these.

The following eight dates are available for online training:

  • Monday, August 7 (10 a.m.-12 p.m./1 p.m.-3 p.m.)
  • Wednesday, August 16 (10 a.m.-12 p.m./1 p.m.-3 p.m.)
  • Friday, August 18 (10 a.m.-12 p.m./1 p.m.-3 p.m.)
  • Wednesday, August 23 (10 a.m.-12 p.m./1 p.m.-3 p.m.)

The following four dates are available for on-site trainings in Bonn-Oberkassel (as online training possible as well):

  • Wednesday, August 9 (10 a.m.-12 p.m./1 p.m.- 3 p.m.)
  • Monday, August 14 (10-12 am/1 p.m. - 3 p.m.)

Registration is expected to be open from 11 July at 10 a.m. (assuming interview invitations have already been sent out at that time) and will close on 28 July (if not fully booked before then). The registration website can be accessed from this date via the following link. Please have your interview invitation ready when you register, as it will need to be uploaded.
