The Quick Dive Review service offers a 90-minute consultation with an ERC expert who reviewed your proposal and profile, helping you refine your application and plan your next steps.
The ERC Quick Dive Review service provides actionable, strategic feedback on your ERC proposal. This service includes a single review cycle of your project application (up to 12 pages, in any format) and CV/track record. Based on our experience, we provide qualitative, constructive feedback designed to help you decide on next steps and highlight key areas to strengthen your ERC application.
Our feedback is delivered in a 90-minute online consultation meeting with an experienced ERC consultant. We strongly recommend booking the Quick Dive as early as possible before the ERC deadline, allowing you to identify and address major conceptual or structural issues while there is still time to improve.
