Curriculum Vitae (CV)

CV of the researcher -indicative length 5 pages- should provide information that is fully consistent with Part-B1 (the proposal) and Part-A. The CV should include the standard academic and research record; and any research career gaps and/or unconventional paths should be clearly explained.

In general, the CV should include information on:

1) The name of the researcher;

2) Professional experience (most recent first)

3) Education, including PhD award date (most recent first)

Here are some tips for writing a competitive CV:

• First, start with a strong summary statement! This is a brief paragraph or two that highlights your skills and experience.
• Quantify your skills and experience whenever possible! This will help the evaluator understand the impact of your work.
• Beware that what you mention here will also be considered by the evaluators in relation to Section 1.4 of Part-B1!

Provide a list of achievements reflecting your track record. Your track record is evaluated against other researchers in your career stage, discipline and sector (academic/non-academic):

• Publications in peer reviewed scientific journals, peer reviewed conference proceedings, and/or monographs (they are expected to be open access either published or through repositories) and other outputs such as data, software, algorithms significant for your research path (they are expected to be open access in appropriate repositories to the extent possible; they should be accompanied by a very short qualitative assessment of their scientific significance and not by the Journal Impact Factor). If you are not the first or lead author on publications, briefly explain your contribution here!
• Invited presentations to internationally established conferences and/or international advanced schools;
• Organisation of international conferences, including membership in the steering and/or programme committee;
• Research expeditions led by the researcher;
• Granted patent(s) - if any;
• Examples of participation in industrial innovation;
• Prizes and Awards;
• Funding received so far;
• Supervising and mentoring activities;
• Other items of interest

Note: Applicants who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis before the call deadline but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree must clearly indicate the date of the successful PhD defence (“viva”). Researchers having their last thesis defence after the call deadline will be automatically declared ineligible for this call.
