Spoštovani,
Kemijski inštitut, Inštitut Jožef Stefan, Univerza v Ljubljani, Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo in Znanstveno raziskovalni center Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti
vas vljudno vabimo, da se prijavite na izobraževanje o razvoju predlogov za projekte Evropskega raziskovalnega sveta (ERC).
Usposabljanje bo organizirano 13. septembra od 9.00 do 15.00 ure.
Posamezna posvetovanja za raziskovalce, ki bodo svoj predlog ERC predložili v letih 2021 in 2022, bodo 14. septembra od 9.00 do 14.00. Vsak raziskovalec bo z gostujočim predavateljem Mattom Statonom iz A Bigger Splash dobil svoj termin za pogovor.
Prijavite se na naslednji povezavi: REGISTRAcija
Prosimo prijavite so do 1. septembra najkasneje. Število mest je omejeno.
O PREDAVATELJU: Matt Staton iz podjetja A Bigger Splash Ltd. dela na predlogih ERC od začetka programa leta 2007. V tem obdobju je podrobno delal na okoli 700 predlogih ERC in se na splošno posvetoval s številnimi drugimi v vseh kategorijah in iz vseh podorčij – menimo, da to predstavlja edinstveno znanje in izkušnje.
Ta tečaj je zelo razširjen po vsej Evropi in je zasnovan z mislijo na pisanje predlogov ERC, čeprav so mnoge lekcije enako uporabne za pisanje drugih Evropskih projektov.
Usposabljanje temelji na preprosti zamisli, da lahko na tem razpisu zmagajo vsi upravičeni kandidati in da miti in legende, ki o njem krožijo v raziskovalni skupnosti, res nič ne štejejo. ERC podpira in financira dobre in inovativne predloge, osredotočene na temeljne raziskave, ki se lahko izvedejo hitro in učinkovito. Pozabite na revolucije, na eno stran postavite tveganje in (prosim …) ne omenjajte grozljivega “preobrata paradigme” – to je samo vprašanje, ki upošteva “vizijo” ERC, začeti na pravem mestu in se neusmiljeno osredotočiti na odločilne dele!
Ta dan usposabljanja vodi raziskovalce skozi podroben, praktičen in logičen niz korakov, ki pokažejo, kako je mogoče sestaviti vsak del konkurenčnega predloga. V središču dela so zelo podrobni nasveti o tem, kako razmišljati in napisati cilje projekta ter se izogniti pogostim napakam, ki jih naredijo raziskovalci v tem kritičnem delu svojih predlogov, kar lahko pomeni takojšnjo smrt – prepričani smo, da je to tisti del, ki razlika in to zelo previdno naslovimo. Traja pa 6 ur, zato je ogromno podrobnosti tudi o najrazličnejših temah – o tem, kako zvesto slediti viziji ERC, kakšno znanost kupujejo in kako jo prodati, o retoriki in občinstvu, o razvrščanju argumenta, o tonu, o vzročnem modeliranju, o tveganju, izogibanju smrti za tisoč rezov, metodah in kam spadajo, o grafiki, kaj je B1 in kako je povezan z B2 …. Življenjepis…

Dear researchers,
National Institute of Chemistry, Jozef Stefan Institute, University of Ljubljana, National Institute of Biology and Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts
Are kindly inviting you to register for training about proposal development for projects of the European Research Council (ERC).
The training will be organized on 13 September from 9.00 to 15.00 hour.
Individual consultations for researchers who will submit their ERC proposal in 2021 and 2022 will take place on 14 September from 9.00- 14.00.
Each researcher will be given a dedicated time slot with our visiting lecturer Matt Staton from A Bigger Splash.
Please register at the following link: REGISTRATION
Please register no later than September 1st.
ABOUT:
Matt Staton of A Bigger Splash Ltd. has been working on ERC proposals since the programme started in 2007. During this period, he has worked in detail on around 700 ERC proposals and consulted more generally on many hundreds of others in all categories and in all fields – we believe this to be a unique body of knowledge and experience.
This training course has been delivered very widely across the EU and is designed with ERC proposal writing in mind, although many of the lessons are equally applicable to writing in any competitive funding situation. The training is based on the simple idea that all eligible candidates can win in this call and that the myths and legends circulating about it in the research community really don’t add up to anything. The ERC are buying good, solid, innovative basic-research-focused proposals which we can all provide them with quickly and effectively. Forget revolutions, put risk to one side and (please…) don’t mention the dreaded ‘paradigm shift’ – it is just a question paying respect to the ERC’s ‘vision’, of starting in the right place, focusing ruthlessly on the decisive parts – oh, and selling a little bit too!
This training day takes researchers through a detailed, practical and logical series of steps to show how each part of a competitive proposal can be put together. At the core of the work is very detailed advice on how to think and write the project objectives and avoiding the common errors that researchers make in this critical section of their proposals which can mean instant death – we are certain that this is the part that makes the difference and we work it out very carefully. But, it lasts for 6 hours and so there is a ton of detail also on a wide range of topics – on paying fealty to the ERC vision, what kind of science they are buying and how to sell it, on rhetoric and the audience, on layering the argument, on tone, on causal modelling, on risk, avoiding death-by-a-thousand-cuts, methods and where they belong, on graphics, what is the B1 and how it relates to the B2….even the CV…..and Matt is adding new stuff to deal with issues emerging from recent rounds too – a veritable cornucopia!
Lepo pozdravljeni / Best regards!
