Slovenia professor Anna Sandak wins European Research Council grant after resubmission
Anna Sandak of the University of Primorska in Koper, Slovenia, secured a European Research Council grant following an interview and proposal resubmission in early 2022.
Initial application process details
Sandak submitted her first research proposal to the Horizon Europe funding scheme in April 2021. She waited six months for a response before receiving an invitation to interview in January 2022.
Preparation for potential rejection
After the interview, Sandak rewrote her entire proposal to prepare for a possible failure. She turned off message notifications and stopped checking her phone to focus on the resubmission work.
Grant award confirmation
Her institute director called in March 2022 to inform her that she had won the grant. Sandak described this achievement as the peak of her career.
