Enspire Science services have been uniquely created to fit the specific needs and requirements of our clients and the funding schemes they are after. Though it is important to know how to select the correct service for you, it is also important to consider when is the ideal time to begin working together for each specific service.
Above all, our team needs time in order to ensure we provide our services at their highest quality. Our rule of thumb is to start working as soon as possible. To make this clear, we’ve gathered our experience which indicates how much time is generally required for each service in correlation to the specific funding scheme. In order to provide our full attention and adhere to all parts of the selected service for each of our clients, we apply the following timeline and deadline policies. These clearly define when we recommend to begin the service, and until when we will accept new clients and their projects.

Our availability for Advanced Grant (AdG) applicants using our services spans as early as February and until the deadline in August; and our availability for Starting Grant (StG) applicants using our services spans as early as May and until the deadline in October.
That being said – please be aware that between mid-July and until the end of August, the ERC Advanced Grant (AdG) applicants will receive top priority, meaning our response time to our ERC StG applicants will be slower than usual. Immediately after the ERC AdG deadline (by the end of August), the ERC StG applicants will receive the top priority and our full attention.
Under the above-mentioned circumstances, we recommend that ERC StG applicants will begin as early as May or June the latest.
