eCourse on successful ERC Interview sessions
based on
O.W.N. T.H.E. R.O.O.M. Formula
As you know, as soon as the PI is invited for an interview after applying for a CoG/StG/AdG , you have approximately 40% chances to receive the grant. Since it is still 60% possible to fail to receive the grant mainly due to the fact that you haven't impressed the panel members during your interview.
In the ERC interview, you have a unique chance to help out the experts on your side, by pitching your talk to the non-experts. We will train the Principal Investigator (PI) on what to say (their words), how to say it (their voice) and how to look (their body language) based on our O.W.N. T.H.E. R.O.O.M. formula.
