Step by Step Guide to the ERC Application Process

How to get started with your ERC proposal

In this video, we will walk you through 7 things to consider before applying for an ERC grant. Why would you apply for an ERC grant? You need to be strategic in your career, and writing an application takes a lot of time and effort. We understand that the success rates are low and you may think you don’t stand a chance. But then, why wouldn’t you apply for an ERC grant? An ERC grant offers independence and recognition. You can research a topic of your own choice, with your own team. You’ll have true intellectual and financial autonomy for up to 5 years. It will increase your visibility, help you access large facilities, negotiate the best working conditions, buy the necessary equipment, attract the best team members and collaborators and bring additional funding. Only when you play you can win the game. And it’s really worth it. So, let’s see how to take a chance on your next ERC grant.

How to write Part 1 of your ERC proposal

In this video, we will be talking about the more research-focused part of the ERC application, which will be your meal ticket to the interview step. In particular, this video will focus on part B1, but please watch our video about B2 if you are interested. If you’re considering applying for an ERC grant, you may already know that an application is made up of three parts: part A, part B1 and part B2. Part A is the administrative part, it includes practical information about your project, career and budget, as well as a series of important annexes. Here, we will look into the 3 sections that make up the second part of your application, part B1 and give you some practical tips.

How to write part B2 of your ERC proposal

In this video, we will talk about the scientific part of the proposal that is referred to as part B2. This is the part where the panel dig deep into your proposal. In our other videos, you have heard what to think about when writing an ERC proposal, what questions to ask yourself before the process, how to fill in the administrative part, as well as how to complete part B1. In this video, we will cover what to consider when writing part B2.

How are ERC proposals evaluated?

In this video we will walk you through the ERC evaluation process. You might think that this is not very relevant, but it actually indirectly impacts on how you write your proposal. Imagine that you are ready to apply for an ERC grant. You’ve worked on your proposal for weeks, you’ve gathered all your necessary documents, and now you are about to hit the submit button. But what happens next? What’s going on behind the scenes while you are waiting for a decision? Let’s go through the 7 phases of the ERC evaluation process.

ERC Interview Process

In this video, we will walk you through the ERC interview process, so that you can feel a little more prepared. At the end of the video, we will also give you 8 top tips for a good ERC interview. ERC interviews have quite a reputation. For some applicants the experience can be nerve-wracking. Being evaluated by a panel of experts in your field, answering all manner of questions for the possibility of winning a considerable amount of funding. Are you scared yet? We guess anyone would be a little, but if you watch this video, you’ll have a much better appreciation of what you will be faced with.

ERC proiektuak

MLstrong - Dentsitate-funtzionalen teorian korrelazio sendoko arazoaren konponbidea, makinaz ikasitako funtzio erabat ez-lokalen bidez

Programa espezifikoa: ERC-2023-STG - ERC HORIZON beka
UPV/EHU: Onuraduna
UPV/EHU IP: Stefan Vuckovic

Proiektuaren hasiera: 2024/10/01
Proiektuaren amaiera: 2029/09/30

Deskribapen laburra: Zehaztasunaren eta kostu konputazionalaren arteko oreka paregabea kontuan hartuta, dentsitatearen funtzionalaren teoria (DFT) egitura elektronikoaren metodorik erabiliena da biokimikatik materialen zientziaraino doazen eremuetan. Funtsezko eta data luzeko oztopo bat, kimika osoan DFTk predikzio-ahalmenaren doitasun eta zehaztasun handia izatea eragozten duena, gutxi gorabeherako DFT metodoek korrelazio handiko efektu elektroniko garrantzitsuak deskribatzeko duten ezintasuna da. Korrelazio handiaren arazoak DFTren aplikagarritasuna mugatzen du teknologikoki garrantzitsuak diren arazo askotarako; izan ere, sistema eta prozesu kimiko kritiko asko oso lotuta daude, hala nola trantsizio-metalak eta orbital erdi beteak inplikatzen dituen katalisia. Trantsizio-metalen katalisiaz gain, korrelazio sendoa nonahikoa da lotura kimiko tenkatuetan, egitura metalorganikoetan, geruza irekiko erradikaletan, material funtzionaletan eta abarretan.

Oraingo proiektuan, DFTn dagoen korrelazio sendoko arazoa konpontzea da nire helburua, espazio-toki oso bat ez den teoriatik (osagaiak) eratorritako ezaugarri berriak konbinatuz, DFT metodoak eta ikaskuntza automatikoa (ML) eraikitzeko, metodoen garapena bizkortzeko. DFT barruko korrelazio sendoen tratamendu zehatzetik ateratako ezaugarri berritzaile horiek ez datoz bat abangoardiako DFT metodo ia guztietan erabiltzen diren "Jacoben eskaileraren ezaugarriekin". Ezaugarri "erabat ez-lokalek" DFT metodo hobetuak bilatzeko espazioa zabaltzen dute. ML erabiliko dut espazio honen potentziala askatzeko korrelazio-problema indartsua konpontzeko metodoen hierarkia baten garapenaren bidez, MLstrong paketea izenekoa, guztiak korrelazio sendoko arazora bideratuak. MLstrong modu eraginkorrean inplementatuko da kode irekiko egitura elektronikoko plataforma batean, eta datu kimiko estandarren multzoen aurka eta korrelazio handiko arazoetarako beharrezkoak diren datuen aurka probatuko da; eta, azkenik, egungo DFTra irits ezin daitezkeen arazoei aplikatuko zaie, hala nola trantsizio-metalen eta egitura metalorganikoen katalizatzaileek katalizatutako erreakzioei.
