PROPOSAL REVIEW AND CONSULTATION
JOIN THE UNIVERSITY ERC PIPELINE
Informal, long-term, and personalised support for researchers who may be interested in submitting a competitive ERC grant application in the future (within a 1–3 year horizon or even later).
* Some faculties also have their own internal ERC Pipeline, in which case it is a good idea to contact the faculty science department or the faculty grants office first. In other cases, do not hesitate to contact the university ERC consultant.
INFORMATION ON IMPORTANT ERC EVENTS
ERC National Information Day, workshops/mock interviews for applicants, workshops for project managers and institutions.
If you have any questions regarding the ERC, would like to discuss your project proposal, or need advice on preparing your application, please do not hesitate to contact the university’s ERC consultant Veronika Syrovátková.

The Expert Group to support applicants in ERC calls was established in January 2021 based on the Joint Declaration of Charles University and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
It consists of a coordinator (Prof. Zdeněk Strakoš) and 11 members from 3 scientific domains according to the ERC structure. Its task is to support ERC applicants at the national level in cooperation with the Prague Technology Centre.
The Expert Group organizes many activities every year to support ERC applicants - the ERC National Information Day, workshops for applicants, mock interviews for applicants, workshops for project managers and institutions to support ERC applicants and individual consultations.
The composition of the Expert Group, its activities and further information can be found HERE.
The CU also financially supports ERC applicants to submit high-quality applications through the Rector's Directive No. 8/2023, Support for Submitting Applications for ERC Grants at Charles University.
