This 3-day in-person training is designed for early-career researchers ready to take the next step towards a successful European Research Council (ERC) application. With a strong focus on practical preparation and strategy, the training revolves around one key question: how can you turn your research potential into a competitive ERC proposal ?
Participants will also engage in networking moments, including a social dinner, and visit the Living Labs at Instituto Superior de Agronomia (ISA), exploring real-world innovation environments. The training will feature international Unite! trainers alongside experts from non-academic partners.
