What are the main ERC principles?
• 1 researcher; 1 host institution; 1 project; 1 selection criterion:
scientific excellence
• No consortia, no networks, no co-financing
• Applications can be made in any field of research, including social
sciences and humanities
• Independent researchers from anywhere in the world, of any age
and career stage can apply
• Host institutions must provide conditions for the researcher to
direct the research and manage its funding
• The grant is 'portable' to another host institution
• Research must be carried out in one of the 28 EU member states or
associated countries

What type of grants does the ERC
fund?
1. ERC Starting Grant Deadline 3rd Feb 2015
– for young, early-career top researchers (2-7 years after PhD) up
to 2 million euro for a period of 5 years.
2. ERC Consolidator Grant Deadline 12th Mar 2015
– for already independent excellent researchers 7-12 years after
PhD) up to 2.75 million euro for a period of 5 years.
3. ERC Advanced Grant Deadline 2nd June 2015
– for senior research leaders with significant research
achievements in the last 10 years up to 3.5 million euro for a
period of 5 years.
4. ERC Proof of Concept Grants Deadline 1st Oct 2015
– for ERC grant holders who want to check the market and/or
innovation potential of research results from ERC-projects -up to
150,000 euro for a period of 12 months.

MSCA Individual Fellowships
A personal fellowship to support mobility
• For Experienced Researchers
• Post-PhD or equivalent
• No upper experience limit
• No age limits
• Fully-funded fellowships
• Salary, research costs etc.
• 2 fellowship types:

MSCA Innovative Training Networks
A typical Innovative Training Network (ITN) is a consortium of
host organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors.
Deadline 13th January 2015
There are 3 types of ITN:
1. European Training Network
2. European Industrial Doctorate
3. European Joint Doctorate
www.sspc.ie
European Training Network (ETN)
1. European Training Networks (ETN)
– Typical consortium size 6 to 10 participants (minimum is
three participants in at least three different Member
States or Associated countries).
– The Beneficiaries who form the core of the consortium
should include a mix of participants from the academic
and non-academic sectors. Additional participants can get
involved as Partner organisations.
– The project can fund doctoral and/or masters’ degree
students.
– Project Duration 4 years.
– Typical Project Budget €3 – 5 million.
www.sspc.ie
Typical ETN
• Consortium of organisations from different countries and
sectors;
1. Beneficiaries: recruit researchers
2. Partner Organisations: host secondments/provide training
• Propose a joint research programme
• Recruit researchers across the consortium– each researcher
has an Individual Research Project
• Advanced research skills and complementary skills training
• Networking events
• Secondments for each researcher to another sector
(academic to non-academic, or vice-versa)
www.sspc.ie
European Industrial Doctorates (EID)
2. European Industrial Doctorates (EID)
• The minimum consortium size is one academic
Beneficiary and one non-academic Beneficiary from
two different Member States or Associated Countries.
• Other participants from any sector can be added if
required, either as Beneficiaries or Partner
Organisations.
• The researchers must spend at least 50% of their time
working in the non-academic sector.
• Project Duration 4 years.
• Typical Project Budget €1 – €5 million.

European Joint Doctorates (EJD)
• European Joint Doctorates (EJD)
• Typical consortium size 6 to 10 participants (minimum is
three academic participants in at least three different
Member States or Associated countries).
• The Beneficiaries who form the core of the consortium can
include a mix of participants from the academic and nonacademic sectors. Additional participants can get involved
as Partner organisations.
• The project can fund doctoral students only and upon
completion of the EJD programme, a researcher must
receive a joint, double or multiple doctoral degree.
• Project Duration 4 years.
• Typical Project Budget €3 – 5 million.

MSCA RISE
Promoting transfer of knowledge
between countries and sectors
• Research programme executed by:
• Exchange of “staff” around the consortium
(Duration 1 month to 1 year)
• Networking activities
• Collaborate with any sector and any
country worldwide
• Per Researcher/Month:
• €2000 for travel costs
• €2500 networking, management, etc.
• 57% of Irish participations in 2014 Call
were funded
www.sspc.ie
MSCA RISE Requirements
• Project duration 48 months
• Minimum consortium 3 participants in 3 countries
1. 2 academic participants plus 1 non-academic (or vice versa)
2. 2 European participants plus 1 non-European participant
• Secondments:
• “Staff” must be active at their host for 6 months before
secondment
• Must be reintegrated after secondment (no duration or
mechanism specified)
• All secondments within Europe must be international &
intersectoral
www.sspc.ie
MSCA RISE Secondments
• Secondments from Europe to non-European countries
are paid for
• Secondments from most non-European
countries to Europe are paid for, except:
• Secondments from high-income countries
e.g. USA, Brazil
• All countries are funded to participate in
the project’s networking/training events
