SAE WORKSHOPS --
European Research Council Workshop on Funding Opportunities at AAA Meeting in Montréal
Dr. Lionel Thelen directed a workshop on ERC funding opportunities for anthropologists conducting research in European Union member states and associated countries. The workshop was sponsored by the Society for the Anthropology of Europe.
Date: Thursday, November 17, 2011
Time: 7:30 pm - 8:45 pm
Location: Palais des
congrès de Montréal: Montreal Convention Center 525B
The ERC funding capability has increased each year, and the budget devoted to anthropology will augment from 2012 with the creation of two new funding schemes, ERC Synergy and ERC Proof of Concept. With grants up to $2.7 million for starting researchers, $4.75 million for advanced researchers, and $20 million for the new Synergy program, the ERC offers unprecedented funding opportunities for social scientists from all over the world.
What does the ERC funding programs have to offer anthropologists? What are the new programs available in 2011-2012? How do you get started with an application? How do you increase your chances of funding? How do you meet the ethical criteria in your proposal? What are the advantages of spending five years in a European host institution for U.S. and international scholars? These are some of the questions that were addressed in the ERC workshop.
The workshop was open to all anthropologists proposing innovative research projects in the member states of the European Union or associated countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Iceland, Israel, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, FYR of Macedonia, Norway, Republic of Montenegro, Serbia, Switzerland, and Turkey).
Dr. Thelen was available for the duration of the AAA meeting to answer your questions and can be reached at lionel.thelen@ec.europa.edu.

The SAE Roundtable Luncheon brings anthropologists together in an informal setting to discuss topics that reflect new and emerging directions in the anthropology of Europe. Lunch is served at a convenient location in the conference hotel. Each table has a host who typically leads six-seven participants in lively conversation. Unlike the standard AAA session, this format allows face-to-face interaction among anthropologists at different stages in their research experience and professional trajectories. This is a great opportunity for emerging scholars to connect with senior Europeanists. Special, affordable rate for students!
