Veronica Caraffini, an ERCEA Scientific Officer, will give a presentation on the application process and the evaluation procedure. 

In the final part of the webinar, the panelists will focus on defining the ground-breaking research question, presenting the PI’s track record and addressing other practical aspects related to an ERC Consolidator Grant proposal.
