We would like to inform you of the upcoming ERC Reading Days 2026. The Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) will serve as a host venue on May 14, 2026.

Reading Days are practical sessions designed for the research community interested in European Research Council (ERC) calls. During these sessions, participants can review and analyze previously funded proposals to better understand evaluation criteria and best practices, thereby improving the quality and competitiveness of future applications.

These sessions are highly beneficial for researchers currently preparing proposals and for current grantees, who will receive guidance on how to navigate the new format.

The sessions will take place at various locations nationwide, as well as during the FECYT Days at the FECYT headquarters.
