Calls for proposals

Horizon 2020, Excellent Science, “European Research Council Synergy Grants” - ERC-2018-SyG

 

(017/C 251/03)

 

Objective and description


The fundamental activity of the European Research Council (ERC) is to provide attractive, long-term funding to support excellent investigators and their research teams to pursue ground-breaking, high-gain/ high-risk research. Research funded by the ERC is expected to lead to advances at the frontiers of knowledge and to set a clear and inspirational target for frontier research across Europe. Scientific excellence is the sole criterion on the basis of which ERC frontier research grants are awarded.

 

Applications can be made in any field of research with an emphasis on the frontiers of science, scholarship and engineering.

 

In particular this calls for proposals aims to fund projects of an interdisciplinary nature which cross the boundaries between different fields of research, pioneering proposals addressing new and emerging fields of research or proposals introducing unconventional, innovative approaches and scientific inventions are encouraged. This should enable transformative research not only at the forefront of European science but also to become a benchmark on a global scale. Applicant PIs must demonstrate the synergies, complementarities and added value that could lead to breakthroughs that would not be possible by the individual PIs working alone.

 

Research proposed for funding to the ERC should aim high, both with regards to the ambition of the envisaged scientific achievements as well as to the creativity and originality of proposed approaches.

 

Eligible applicants


Groups applying for the ERC Synergy Grant must be made up of a minimum of two and a maximum of four Principal Investigators and, as necessary, their teams. One of the Principal Investigators must be designated as the Corresponding Principal Investigator.

 

Applications are expected from a group of innovative and active Principal Investigators and must present an early achievement track-record or a 10-year track-record whichever is most appropriate for their career stage (see Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grant profiles in the ERC Work Programme 2018). There is little prospect of an application succeeding in the absence of such a record.

 

Applicant Principal Investigators must demonstrate the ground breaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their scientific proposal.

 

The ERC actions are open to Principal Investigators of any nationality and any age from anywhere in the world provided their host institution is established in a Member State or an Associated Country.

 

They shall spend a minimum 30% of their total working time on the ERC project and a minimum of 50% of their total working time in an EU Member State or Associated Country.

 

Budget and duration


The indicative total budget of this call is 250 million EUR. The ERC expects to fund approximately 30 proposals.

 

Synergy Grants may be awarded up to a maximum of EUR 10 000 000 for a period of 6 years. However, up to an additional EUR 4 000 000 in total can be requested in the proposal to cover:

·         eligible "start-up" costs for Principal Investigators moving to the EU or an Associated Country from elsewhere as a consequence of receiving the ERC grant and/or,

·         the purchase of major equipment and/or,

·         access to large facilities.

 

An ERC grant can cover up to 100% of the total eligible direct costs of the research plus a contribution of 25% of the total eligible costs towards indirect costs.

 

Grants are awarded to the Host Institution with the explicit commitment that this institution offers appropriate conditions for the Principal Investigator independently to direct the research and manage its funding for the duration of the project.

 

Deadline for proposals’ submission


The deadline for this call is 14 November 2017, 17:00:00 (Brussels local time).

 

Applications for an ERC grant must be submitted through the online submission service on the participants portal.
