On Wednesday, Feb 19, from 11am - 12pm (EST), there will be a webinar on ERC (European Research Council) grants, which are similar to U.S. federal agencies' investigator awards, and the topics are open to "pioneering ideas" and "investigator-driven frontier research", including social sciences and humanities topics. At least 50% of the research must be carried out in an institution in an EU Member State or Associated State.
ERC projects can run for up to five years and can cover cutting-edge research in any scientific domain, including the social sciences, humanities and interdisciplinary studies. The grants may help both emerging research leaders (ERC Starting Grants and ERC Consolidator Grants) and well-established and recognized scientists (ERC Advanced Grants).
Register for the webinar at:

• Key principles of ERC funding
• Proposal structure and evaluation

The presenter will be Yiva Huber, the Austrian National Contact Point for the ERC.
