ERC Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grant Readiness Reviews

'We offer a personal, individually tailored and educationally focussed journey of excellence.'

Before the writing phase can begin, there needs to be a very sound proposal concept, and also a well-rounded CV.

At Whitehorne, as part of our ERC services, we also offer a short-round review service to potential and/or future ERC applicants to review the readiness of their ERC concept and their CV, and also provide strategic advice and fedback to help applicants strengthen these areas in preparation for an upcoming, or future ERC grant submission. 

We also offer more comprehensive ERC services through all stages of the ERC proposal development and writing process (each is a stand alone service to cater to the needs of each applicant).

THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR SUPPORT

• Our feedback on drafts is highly personalised, in-depth, direct and to the point, and should we identify weaknesses in a proposal, we will always work at providing the applicant with suggestions and/or options as to how the weakness can be remedied.

• When any of our clients interact with us, they will find us to be down to earth and approachable professionals, who have a real passion for what we do, and we understand and appreciate how busy the life of an academic can be.

• All of our work is based on a strong process-driven foundation.

• We believe in honesty and transparency, and in building strong and healthy relationships with our clients.
