ERC Deep Dive Review

Theodossis Theodossiou

“The services of Enspire were of very high quality. The advisors are very experienced, and they were really attentive to detail. They provided me with great guidance in a grant scheme which I had no prior experience with. This helped my application become focused and to the point. The communication was good and frequent and they were there to answer… Read more > “Theodossis Theodossiou”

“I received some great comments about improving risk/challenges and hypotheses during writing the proposal. I found how to connect the methodology with risk and hypotheses.”   ERC StG Deep Dive service

Damián Monllor-Satoca

“The service provided was excellent. The advisor was close to my knowledge area, thus his insights were very helpful in shaping the project’s vision and main idea. Besides, he had a thorough technical knowledge of the proposal parts, helping us on completing all expected aspects of it.”   ERC CoG Deep Dive service

“When you first apply to an ERC grant you are a bit lost, and ENSPIRE support is very clarifying, allowing you to focus on the proper proposal. There is also advice about what is important and what is not, that I guess is crucial. It is not a normal call, and if you don´t realise that, your chances are even… Read more > “”

“I am both very satisfied and happy with the assistance and help from ENSPIRE. Writing an ERC grant is completely different from writing a national grant proposal. Despite my large experience, I do not think I would have been able to prepare, without the help of ENSPIRE, the grant according to the requirements of ERC. As a whole, I am… Read more > “”

“The feedback from Enspire was always spot on. It really helped me to think about my grant from all perspectives, identify potential issues, and iron out the weak spots of my proposal. As a result, the final proposal has improved a lot throughout the consulting process and has become much more balanced. Highly recommended!”   ERC AdG Deep Dive service

“Writing proposals isn’t my favorite task (who enjoys it, really?), but you made the process much more enjoyable. I was impressed by your top-notch expertise and professionalism, and I’m very pleased with the final shape of my proposal!”   ERC AdG Deep Dive service

“The in depth review was a fantastic help! Consultant carefully read not only current application, but also previous applications; was very constructive in idea and knowledge gap shaping as well as choice and addressing of the panel. The consultant was there along the whole way, including ensuring that all the forms in the portal are completed. It was a true… Read more > “”

“[…] I was able to send my proposal template whenever I wanted and received very timely feedback. I believe there has been considerable improvement in my proposal thanks to this feedback. I would like to remind everyone that it is definitely necessary to start early to benefit more from Enspire. Thank you very much for your support!”   ERC CoG… Read more > “”

“Prompt and helpful guidance provided in a non-judgemental manner. The feedback helped to focus my application and to avoid any suggestions of incrementality. Writing ERC grants often does not align with typical requirements of other funding streams and so ENSPIRE’s feedback was critical in this regard.”   ERC CoG Deep Dive service

Andreas Rupp

“Enspire helped structure my application in the ERC style: The online courses and the consultant’s comments changed and improved my application.”   ERC StG Deep Dive service

Çiler Çelik Özenci

“[…] Upon receipt of a thorough and comprehensive series of reviews, I found that every facet of the service provided was not only beneficial, but also instrumental in refining and enhancing my proposal. The rigorous critique, combined with constructive feedback, resulted in significant improvement to the overall structure, content, and presentation of my proposal.”   ERC AdG Deep Dive service

Jakob Lund Dideriksen

“The online material and the feedback (deep dive review) was overall very helpful in the writing process. The feedback was to-the-point, constructive, and consistent in the sense that it often referred to the basic requirements for ERC applications (high-risk/gain, non-incremental ect). The comments in each round of revisions clearly directed me in path forward. The reviewer seemed happy to engage… Read more > “Jakob Lund Dideriksen”

“[…] The initial information material online was extremely helpful to understand what a “good” ERC application is! This was completely new to me, and I learnt a lot about the process from watching the videos. My consultant was extremely competent, professional, motivating and supportive. […] Their feedback helped me immensely in the process of rewriting my application and made me… Read more > “”

“The consultant worked closely with us from the beginning to the end of the grant development, writing, and submission process. The consultant was responsive, timely, and very detailed. She is so knowledgeable about the ERC and their specifications and the logic of Horizon grants. I felt very assured having her supporting us as a team.”   ERC SyG Deep Dive… Read more > “”

“It was tremendously helpful to learn about the non-intuitive aspects of the structure and content of the two proposal parts. I had originally overstated what societal relevance the proposed work might have and the proposal lacked fundamental, high-risk aspects (or better, it lacked clarity with respect to those aspects). The input and guidance with respect to structure and content was… Read more > “”

“All parts were precious to me, including the online materials (e.g., aggregated overview of the panel members) and the online videos; the best part of this service was my consultant, who gave me many times precious and detailed feedback on my project in regard to the writing and communicating the ideas, structure and organisation of the proposal, technical aspects, and… Read more > “”

Alice Marino

“Enspire Consulting provided invaluable support throughout my ERC application process. The assigned consultant was consistently available, offering timely responses and constructive feedback on my drafts. Her expertise helped me understand the specific requirements of the ERC and pushed me to significantly strengthen my proposal. Thanks to her targeted advice, I felt confident that my application was more competitive and of… Read more > “Alice Marino”

James Michael Gahan

“The service provided by Enspire was absolutely amazing. My proposal is very much improved due to the feedback I obtained. In particular, Enspire’s services help me to mould my research ideas into a more “ERC-style” proposal and also help me to ensure all the important points for ERC review were covered!”   ERC StG Deep Dive service

Cécile Formosa-Dague

“Through the help I receive from Enspire, I could finally understand what was important for an ERC application, and how to write and make these important elements very clear in the text (groundbreaking idea, scientific question, hypothesis and high risk/high gain). I was also pushed with incisive questions to the limits of the project, allowing to make a very clear,… Read more > “Cécile Formosa-Dague”
