The ERC National Contact Point supports ERC Advanced Grant candidates in preparing for their online-interviews.
The online interview trainings are offered on six dates between 10 February 2025 and 26 February 2025. Each Advanced Grant candidate will have approximately 30 minutes to simulate their interview. A professional trainer will lead the training and provide personalised feedback. In addition to the trainer, colleagues from the NCP ERC and the candidates present will form the mock panel.
The dates are limited and are aimed at ERC Advanced Grant candidates with a German host institution who have received an invitation to an interview and do not have the opportunity to participate in a training session at their institution.
The following dates are available:
Registration is possible from 21 January 2025, 9 am. Registration will remain open until 4 February 2025, 10 a.m. at the latest. Registration is also no longer possible once the training dates are fully booked. Registration for the waiting list is open for a limited number of interested parties; it does not yet entitle them to participate in a training course. Participation in an interview training is only possible after a corresponding confirmation. Due to the high demand, we recommend that you register immediately after the start of registration.
After registering via the link, please send us the invitation to the ERC interview, B1 (and optionally B2) part of the ERC application and Annex I to interviewtrainings@kowi.de. Annex I is the part of the invitation to the interview that was sent after the actual invitation. This annex contains all the panel's specifications with regard to the number of slides permitted, the candidate's speaking time in minutes, the total duration of the interview, etc.
The NCP ERC reserves the right not to admit candidates to the training programme who do not meet the above criteria or have not submitted complete documentation.
If you have any questions regarding the content of the training, please contact interviewtrainings@kowi.de.
