Hacettepe University has established a special support structure to assist applications to the European Research Council (ERC) programs and to provide more effective guidance to our researchers in project writing, preparation, and evaluation processes. Within this framework, a short "ERC Trend Assessment Survey" has been prepared to map past ERC application experiences within our university, identify researchers planning future ERC applications, and design the necessary support mechanisms more accurately. The information you share through the survey is of great importance in developing mechanisms such as training, mentoring, project writing support, and pre-evaluation, tailored to your research area, application plans, and support needs. As one of the first steps in this process, an ERC Information Day will be organized for our university's academics and researchers. This event will share up-to-date information about the ERC component of the Horizon Europe Programme, covering the scope of ERC funds, application processes, and evaluation criteria. We invite all academics and researchers aiming to take their research activities to an international level to participate in our event. ERC Information Day
