WEBINAR - Information sessions ERC Advanced Grant 2026 (23-24/03/2026) - En Ligne

As part of the ERC-UPSaclay support, two online morning sessions for candidates from the Université Paris-Saclay perimeter (and Institut Polytechnique de Paris) wishing to apply to the ERC Advanced Grant 2026 call are organised on March 23 & 24, 2026.

These sessions will be composed of two phases:

Plenary session 1: on Monday, March 23, 2026
• 9.30 a.m - 11.15 a.m: General introduction of the ERC Advanced Grant 2026. The objective is to provide an overview of the evaluation criteria, submission process, and ERC panels.

• 11:30 a.m - 13:00 p.m: Round-table discussion, in which experts, ERC laureates and European Affairs Officers will participate. This will be an opportunity for you to benefit from advice from different stakeholders and to ask any questions you may have.

Plenary session 2: on Tuesday, March 24, 2026
• 9.30 a.m - 12:30 a.m: Advices on how to write a proposal. The aim is to provide writing guidelines and best practices to prepare and optimize your grant application for Parts B1 and B2. A time for questions and answers will be set at the end of the session.

You will also be able to benefit from a one-hour individual online interview with one of our ERC experts about your project idea. The interviews will take place on Wednesday April 8 and Friday April 10, 2026. After registering, we will get back to you with the details of the interview. Please indicate in the "comments" part of the form if you have any particular availability during this period (morning, afternoon).

If you are not available on April 8 and 10, you will be able to benefit from an online interview at a later date. Please make sure to indicate this on the registration form.

Registration is free but mandatory.

Please note: The webinar as well as the individual interviews are reserved for researchers, teacher-researchers and administrative staff within the perimeter of the Université Paris-Saclay (as well as the Institut Polytechnique de Paris).

The sessions will be held as a webinar. We will send the final program and the link to connect online to all registrants a few days before the session (the week before the meetings). Registered participants to an individual interview will be contacting shortly after their registration in order to adapt our support to their knowledge of ERC Grants and the state of their project.
