Thorough understanding of the basic principles of Vidi Grant and ERC Starting Grant, helping you to decide which one is for you.
CONTENT
- This workshop prepares researchers that are 4 to 7 years after their PhD award/defence date to become competitive candidates for two prestigious individual research grants: the ERC Starting Grant and the NWO Vidi Grant.
- The workshop starts with an overview of both instruments, for basic understanding of the application rules, procedures and evaluation criteria.
- The second half of the workshop is dedicated to assessing the difference between the two funding schemes, with an overview of what makes for a good Vidi Grant or ERC Starting Grant.
