This workshop for early-career researchers will explain the European Research Council (ERC) grants and Euraxess Researchers in Motion Initiative for European researchers abroad, and provide answers to practical questions such as: How can the ERC and EURAXESS support research careers? What are their main features of the ERC funding schemes? What are the selection criteria and how long is the selection process? How does the application process work? How many researchers are funded each year? What are the chances of success? What services are offered by EURAXESS? Where to find information on the EURAXESS portal? In addition, an ERC Starting Grantee will be present to share her experience with this funding initiative and will answer questions.
