ERC: Funding Principles and Success Factors

Within the relatively short time of their existence, ERC grants have become internationally recognised as awards for scientific excellence, with research institutions increasingly competing for attracting ERC grantees. Researchers from anywhere in the world can apply for ERC grants, provided the research they undertake will be carried out in an EU Member State or Associated Country. ERC projects can last up to five years and can cover „frontier research“ in any scientific domain, including social sciences, humanities and interdisciplinary studies. The grants may help both emerging research leaders (‚ERC Starting Grants‘ and ‚ERC Consolidator Grants‘) and already well-established and recognised scientists (‚ERC Advanced Grants‘).

This webinar dealt with:

  • Key principles of ERC funding
  • Proposal structure and evaluation
  • Elements of competitive ERC grant.

The webinar was held by the Austrian FFG.
