The National Science Centre and the ERC National Contact Point Department for Horizon Europe are organising the ERC Mentoring Initiative Information Day on 2 March 2023, at 10 am - 11.30 am, in the form of a ClickMeeting webinar.
The ERC Mentoring Initiative is a programme created by the European Research Council to support researchers applying for ERC grants. Together with the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) and the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP), the National Science Centre (NCN) joined the initiative in May 2022. The agencies made it possible for their grant winners to cover the costs of participation in the ERC Mentoring Initiative from their domestic project resources. Researchers may apply to the National Contact Point Department of the NCBR specifying domestic grants they are pursuing. Having verified the information, the National Contact Point Department will identify mentors from the database provided by the ERC and will initiate contacts between the applicant and the mentor. The researchers will specify the scope of the mentoring together with the mentors according to the applicable rules provided in the programme description.
During the webinar, the guidelines of the ERC Mentoring Initiative will be presented as well as funding possibilities offered by the NCBR, NCN, FNP and NAWA under their programmes. At the end of the meeting, the Q&A session will be held.
