Call for proposals for ERC Advanced Grant
The European Commission has published its call for proposals for ERC Advanced Grants. This new call comes under the Horizon 2020 specific pillar 'Excellent Science'. ERC Advanced Grants are designed to support proposals from researchers with a proven track record of achievements in their field of expertise. Applicants must demonstrate the groundbreaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their scientific proposal, as well as be able to present a specific number of publications, patents, congresses, research expeditions, etc. Advanced Grants may be awarded a maximum of EUR 2 500 000 for a period of five years. However an additional EUR 1 000 000 can be requested to cover costs such as moving to the EU or an Associated Country from elsewhere as a consequence of receiving the ERC grant, the purchase of major equipment and/or access to large facilities.To see the official call announcements, please consult: Participant Portal(opens in new window)
