The interview webinar is aimed at researchers who have progressed to step 2 of the evaluation process. Administrative staff at Swedish universities who work with research support for ERC applicants are also welcome to participate. The interview training will be held on two occasions: the first on 2 February and the second on 6 February.

The webinar will be held in English.

The Swedish Research Council supports researchers who apply for grants from the European Research Council, ERC, in various ways.

The candidates will have the opportunity to meet and ask questions to previous ERC AdG recipients as well as researchers that have been on the panel.
