Within the PES project, the project manager, Eva Johais, will develop and write a full ERC Starting Grant proposal. To this end, Johais will get in contact with potential project board members, project collaborators, and project advisors to be included in the proposal. In addition, she will reach out to external reviewers and CMI colleagues who will help to improve the proposal. Johais will also collaborate with a project advisor for the research management aspects of the proposal and the application process.
