Did you wonder why the @erc.europa.eu Scientific council has changed the proposal format? (And no, it’s not to make you do extra work 😀) Or why it changed the eligibility windows? This document explains things 🤪

The panel wanted to fund twice as many projects, but there were budget constraints... :-( If only the community was not so self-critical and applied a bit more... We need to more money! 😭This comment is for those that came to the interviews and got an unfunded-A! 💪

COURAGE to those preparing to submit their @erc.europa.eu advanced proposals. 💪💪Deadline is tomorrow 🫣😱but better submit a version today just to be sure (you can keep resubmitting until tomorrow but at least you know one version is safe!). From our side we are ready to take care of them!👷♀️#ERCAdG

I am sure you have started working on your proposal already, so this is just a reminder that you still have 3 months to go. Make sure you put some timeline and risk assessment, even in Part B1. Best of luck to everyone!!!

Have you applied for an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator grant in 2025? The list of panel members is published: erc.europa.eu/sites/defaul.... An opportunity to practice your detective skills since 1)not all panel members have agreed for their name to be there & 2)they are not sorted by panel. Good luck!

Deciphering the formation of cooperative multicellular biofilms
Bacterial films are a hazard throughout the healthcare system, and as antibiotic resistance increases there is an even greater imperative...
🦠 Most #bacteria form #biofilms, protective communities that resist #antibiotics.
Petya Krasteva's research explores the structure & behaviour of these biofilms, hoping to develop new #antimicrobial strategies.
