**What is an ERC Starting Grant?**\\
\\
The ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grants (ERC Starting Grants) are meant to support researchers (Principal Investigators) at the stage at which they are starting or consolidating their own independent research team or programme.\\
\\
Researchers within 2-12 years of research experience (after their PhD) may apply for a grant for a basic research project of up to 5 years. The grant covers the setting up of a small research group and all further costs related 
to conducting a pioneering (ground-breaking) research project. It is expected that PIs are able to demonstrate, via their track records (publications, awards and prizes, conference papers, funding ID), a high potential for research independence.\\
\\
A more detailed description of the ERC Starting Grants can be found attached to this email.\\

\\
**Workshop "Applying for ERC Starting Grants"** \\
