Universities arrange courses on how to write a successful application and hire consultants to support this. Academics are assessing lists of past grantees to see how to position their research and steer toward “ERC-compatible” research. And above all, they spend months writing a proposal, with a funding success rate of a bit above 10 percent.
As a side note, LLMs have completely changed what it means to write a research proposal now. For better or worse, time will tell. I hope time will be spent better.
