Participation in University calls that provide support to enter European individual calls

Periodically, the University of Padova implements support, preparation and training programmes for candidates who wish to participate in European calls for proposals choosing Padova as their Host Institution. The main programmes are the following:

• MSCA MaRaThoN is a crash course for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships candidates who choose the University of Padovas as their Host Institution.
• Talent@Unipd aims at selecting candidates with standards of excellence to participate in ERC-Starting Grant and ERC-Consolidator calls for proposals.

All candidates who intend to participate in these University calls choosing the Department of Historical and Geographic Sciences and the Ancient World as their Department of reference must follow the procedures established by the Marathon and Talent calls; furthermore, they must promptly notify the ERC@Dissgea team of their participation, by sending an email to research.dissgea@unipd.it.

This will allow technical and administrative staff and teachers of the Department to provide consistent and dedicated support to the candidates, assisting them while they work on their application.

  Researchers participating on their own

Candidates who have not participated in University calls can submit proposals for MSCA and ERC calls on their own choosing the Department as their host facility.

In order to do so, we invite candidates to notify the ERC@Dissgea team of their willingness to participate in ERC or MSC calls by sending an email to research.dissgea@unipd.it at least 3 months before the deadline of the relevant call.
The email must include an abstract of at least 1000 words and a scientific and academic curriculum. Furthermore, those who wish to participate in a MSCA call must provide the name of their supervisor (or supervisors for MSCA-Global) of choice. The ERC@DiSSGeA work group and the Scientific Committee of the Department will assess all the applications they receive.

PLEASE NOTE. Irrespective of the chosen procedure, we invite all candidates to add the email address research.dissgea@unipd.it to the list of addressees of notification in the Participant Portal. In doing so, the staff of the Department will be kept updated about the development of drafting and assessment processes and will be able to access the final proposal.
