Moreover, ERC encourages high-risk research, which often implies the use of unconventional methodologies and approaches. A researcher obtaining an ERC research grant might find that the administrative rules at the host institution do not easily allow the execution of a risky research program, a situation that might jeopardize the innovative nature of the research.&nbsp; Based on the management of an ERC Starting Grant, in this presentation I explore ways in which the researcher can negotiate a more flexible management so to ensure the successful execution of the grant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>I\u00f1aki Ruiz Trillo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>I will quickly present my experience in managing an ERC grant in two different host institutions (UB and UPF), and my negotiations with a third one (CSIC). I think the&nbsp;most important point to avoid problems is to have a good communication channel with both the administration at your institution and with the ERC officer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The ICREA colloquia are a great way to learn about remote fields of research from our best experts. We usually have two speakers, who offer their opinions on the same subject from very different angles. Open to all ICREAs and their guests.
