Networking, international visibility and the development of an independent research profile are of great importance for scientists. This is hardly conceivable without the acquisition of third-party funding. External funding plays a decisive role not only for established scientists, but also for early career researchers. The University of Würzburg is actively committed to providing targeted support to its researchers at all career stages.
As part of its University Agreement JMU offers various internal research funding programmes. The JMU Mobility Fellowship enables scientists (doctoral researchers to junior professors) to complete a research stay of 1 to 3 months abroad. A JMU Seed Grant supports early career researchers with a doctorate who are preparing a third-party funding application for an individual project for the first time.
In this digital information event, the Research Advancement Centre provides information about the two funding programmes.

The European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grants are prestigious funding opportunities aimed at supporting outstanding early career researchers. The grants provide substantial funding of up to €1.5 million over five years to enable promising scientists to pursue groundbreaking research projects.
This seminar will provide an overview of the ERC Starting Grant funding scheme, highlighting its significance within the broader Horizon Europe framework programme. We will explore the key principles and benefits of the grant scheme. Moreover, information on the eligibility criteria, the proposal submission process, including evaluation criteria and deadlines as well as the review process will be provided.
Additionally, you will receive information on the support services provided by JMU’s Research Advancement Centre (RAC). The presentation will conclude with a lively Question & Answer session, during which attendees can directly address their questions, seek clarification, and gain insights from experienced ERC advisors.
