News, Updates and opportunities for funding at the European Research Council (ERC)
András Badacsonyi, Scientific Officer European Research Council Executive Agency
The European Research Council (ERC is the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research. I was set up by the European Commission responding to a demand from the scientific community in 2007. The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence.
Through its long-term grants, it provides scientific freedom and financial stability to its grantees and the reputation of excellent research. ERC projects have led to more than 200’000 articles published in scientific journals, over 2’200 patents and other IPR applications, and ERC grantees founded or co-founded over 400 start-ups so far.
The presentation will introduce ERC, its grants and the evaluation process. I will explain the recently introduced changes in the evaluation and I will try to give some pragmatic advice to those who intend to apply for ERC funding. At the same time, I will also clarify some misunderstandings and incorrect information about ERC evaluations.
