[02406] European Research Council (ERC) information session
Session Time & Room : 3E (Aug.23, 17:40-19:20) @G301
Type : Proposal of Minisymposium
Abstract : The European Research Council is the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research. Its mission is to encourage highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence.
In this minisymposium, ERC laureates will present their work in various grant schemes. The ERC office in Brussels will present the main opportunities for researchers. The final talk will concentrate on how to build a specific grant office within a university mathematics department, to stimulate researchers to apply for many different types of grants, including those of the ERC.

[03125] European Research Council (ERC): insight into funding opportunities
Format : Talk at Waseda University
Author(s) :
Joan Vazquez Molina (European Research Council Executive Agency)
Abstract : The ERC's mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence. I will give an overview of our funding opportunities, which are open to researchers from any nationality and at any career stage. I will provide insight into our evaluation and selection process, focusing on details of particular interest for the industrial and applied mathematics community.
[05538] Building a new mathematical adventure with ERC support.
Author(s) :
Alfio Quarteroni (Politecnico di Milano)
Abstract : The generous ERC support has enabled me to lay the scientific foundations for computational medicine, an immensely captivating field that presents extraordinary mathematical challenges while offering the opportunity to contribute to solving complex problems of clinical and societal significance. In this presentation, I will outline the key milestones of this journey, and briefly touch upon my decade-long experience as the chairman of the ERC Mathematical Panel for Consolidator Grants.
Abstract : In this talk we will describe the ERC Synergy project entitled Extreme-scale Mathematically-based Computational Chemistry. Molecular simulation is one of the most dynamic areas of scientific computing. Its field of application is very broad, ranging from theoretical chemistry and drug design to materials science and nanotechnology. We will review in this talk some of the research topics, challenges and achievements of this multidisciplinary effort that was made possible by ERC-Synergy-type funding.
[05567] A dedicated Project Development Office for Mathematics
Author(s) :
Wil Schilders (Eindhoven University of Technology)
Abstract : At Eindhoven University, end of 2013 we started a Project Development Office (PDO) within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. This office has all the knowledge and expertise to inform mathematicians about suitable project opportunities, disregarding less suitable options, and helps actively with the writing of proposals. Personal grants like ERC proposals are of prime importance, PDO has a database of successful proposals. It has turned out to be a very successful move, other university departments and universities are copying the concept.
