As the founder and principal consultant at Bekk Research Support, I leverage over a decade of experience in research grant consulting to provide specialised guidance in ERC grant preparation.

Having conducted over 50 specialised ERC preparatory seminars across Europe, we strive to demystify ERC objectives and provide insights for crafting competitive proposals. These sessions have benefitted a diverse range of researchers, from emerging academics to established scholars. Additionally, we offer a comprehensive ERC interview coaching program, which has benefited over 40 candidates so far, equipping them with the skills to effectively communicate their research in a compelling and concise manner. The program emphasises narrative clarity, strategic presentation, and audience engagement, preparing researchers for the critical interview stage of their ERC application.My mission is to empower researchers with the tools and confidence needed to succeed in the highly competitive landscape of ERC grants, ensuring that their innovative ideas receive the recognition and support they deserve.
