As “Turkey in Horizon 2020 Phase II” Project; we have organized the seventh in a series of free webinars for SMEs which would like to learn more about the financial support offered under the EIC Accelerator programme. The Webinar will be conducted by the project’s team of international experts who will go through the often-confusing terminology with descriptions and interpretations in English and Turkish. The event had around 90 participants on Zoom software and another 56 on the project’s YouTube channel.

The Webinar content was based on an initial presentation from TÜBİTAK, followed by a brief presentation on the Accelerator programme, then the main part of the Webinar. This involved a summary from each of the 3 experts involved, covering issues encountered in dealing with SME bids. The three main evaluation aspects of ‘Impact,’ ‘Excellence,’ and ‘Implementation’ were used to focus information and questions. Finally, there was a general presentation on issues encountered with the structure and operation of the SMEs involved.

As part of this programme, the 2nd General and Introductory Training (online) on Horizon Europe event with more than 500 participants was organised on 29th January 2021. The event was held under The “Turkey in Horizon 2020 Phase – II Project” which is co-financed by the EU and the Republic of Turkey and managed by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), within the framework of the Competitive Sectors Programme of the Ministry of Industry and Technology.

The four number of PWC ERC events were not only the trainings. It was asynchronous training based on the same resources. It was the ERC Masterclass composed of live webinars, on-line support tools and mastering the proposals videoconferences. The objective of the ERC Masterclass was to help ERC applicants to develop their personal narrative with regard to the scientific impact their project will generate, instead of the traditional focus on the societal and economic impact. Such a new narrative requires new vocabulary and a focused structure: this means training researchers in a new logic, where the focus is on what ground breaking science means in their specific field.
