VeronicaCaraffini
After completing a PhD in molecular medicine and a postdoc in cancer biology, I joined the Life Sciences Unit of the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA). Here I am panel co-coordinator of the LS4 panel (Physiology in Health, Disease and Ageing) and I contribute to the coordination and execution of calls for proposals, evaluation and selection of proposals by the European Research Council (ERC) and to the monitoring and follow-up of funded projects.

This interactive session focuses on grant funding, offering participants direct access to funders and grantmakers. Each expert will give a 5-minute introduction, outlining their role, funding priorities, and perspectives on the grant-making process. A moderator will pose follow-up questions to deepen the discussion and highlight practical insights. The session then opens to the audience for an open “Ask Me Anything” Q&A, encouraging candid questions and active participation. Designed as a fully interactive format, the session includes no slides or screens, prioritizing conversation and direct engagement.
