Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

This project provides the necessary support to the Vice-Presidents of the European Research Council Scientific Council (ERC ScC) to achieve key milestones and deliverables of the ScC, which are required under the Horizon Europe framework programme.
Under the Horizon Europe programme, the European Research Council provides a competitive funding mechanism for investigatordriven frontier research at the European level. One of the key structural components of the ERC is the Scientific Council consisting of 21 eminent researchers and their President, representative of a large range of disciplines and institutional backgrounds. The ERC ScC independently establishes and oversees the ERC's scientific management and the implementation of the Work Programme, including the peer review and the selection of peer reviewers.
The project aims to support the ERC Vice-Presidents, who, unlike the ERC President, act on an honorary basis, in the efficient and timely achievement of the ScC’s objectives in 2024 and 2025. The diverse responsibilities of the three Vice-Presidents of the ERC include the achievement of efficient and effective functioning of the ScC, its integrated operation together with the ERC Executive Agency (ERCEA), and effective interfacing with the scientific community, other funding agencies and the political institutions of the European Union. The project provides administrative and advisory support ranging from secretarial tasks to assistance in developing policy papers related to the work of the Vice-Presidents of the ERC for a period of two years.
The project objective is to provide local administrative, operational, and advisory support for the three ERC Vice-Presidents. The project contains a single work package which encompassed all the various tasks associated with this objective.

Arbeit, die ab Beginn des Projekts bis zum Ende des durch den Bericht erfassten Berichtszeitraums geleistet wurde, und die wichtigsten bis dahin erzielten Ergebnisse

The project objective was to provide local administrative, operational, and advisory support for the three ERC Vice-Presidents. The project contained a single work package which encompassed all the various tasks associated with this objective. Some of the major tasks accomplished by the Vice-Presidents were the preparations for the ERC Work Programme 2025 and the ERC Work Programme 2026, the chairing of Standing Committees and Working Groups, recruitment of new panel members for evaluation of proposals submitted to the ERC, participation in meetings of the ERC Board and Scientific Council, and dissemination of information on the ERC to the wider community. These activities are in addition to on-going work monitoring the quality and effectiveness of the ERC evaluation processes and responding to correspondence from the scientific community.
