The Finance Helpdesk will be holding an ERC Workshop on 8 July 2009, in Brussels, Belgium.

8 July 2009

The next call for the European Research Council Starting Grant (ERC-2010-StG) is expected to be published in July 2009 with call deadlines in Autumn. This workshop will inform you about ERC grants with special focus on the Starting Grant.

The ERC has developed and launched two ‘core’ schemes in FP7. The ERC Starting Grant and ERC Advanced Grant allow individual researchers to propose research projects from all areas of scientific and technological research of interest to the EU. Project proposals are evaluated on the sole criterion of excellence and can include high risk, interdisciplinary projects. There are no restrictions on the nationality of the principal investigators to be funded, but they must carry out their research within the European Union and associated countries.

- Introduction
