Call for proposals for ERC Consolidator Grant
The European Commission has published its call for proposals for 'ERC Consolidator Grant', which is coming under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The Consolidator Grant aims to enhance opportunities for young European researchers to pursue independent careers and make the transition from working under a supervisor to being research leaders in their own right. Following up to the Starting Grant, this call goes a step further by targeting consolidators rather than starters. While starters are applicants looking to be compared with researchers of a similar level, consolidators are already working with their own group, but need to consolidate it. With a budget of EUR 523 million under the work programme 'Ideas', the scheme is expected to strengthen independent research teams that have been recently created.To see the official call announcement, please consult: Participant portal(opens in new window) To see partnership requests for this call, please consult: CORDIS Partners Service(opens in new window)
