Frontier research
•
•
•
Research at the frontier of knowledge increasingly important
to competitiveness and welfare
Research at and beyond the frontiers of understanding is an
intrinsically risky venture
Characterised by the absence of disciplinary boundaries.
European Research Council
ERC is an autonomous body created to support “frontier
research”.
 ERC Scientific Council - direct scientific strategy and
management of ERC

2. IDEAS
€7.46bn, 15% of budget
 Supporting "investigator-driven" research.
 For research teams competing at an European level, across all scientific
and technological fields, including the social sciences and humanities.
 Grants will be provided to individual teams from a single institution or
several institutions, one country or across borders. Led by a single P.I.
 Two funding streams:
 Starting Independent Research Grant Scheme
 Advanced Investigator Grant Scheme
 Grants funded at 100% total eligible direct costs, plus 20% for indirect
costs.
 Only evaluation criterion: Scientific Excellence as judged by peer review

€4.73bn, 9% of budget
Objectives:
• To make Europe more attractive to researchers
• Part of integrated strategy to strengthen human potential by:
- Encouraging people to become researchers
- Encouraging researchers, from Europe and the
whole world, to carry out their research in Europe
•
Builds on FP6 Marie Curie Actions
•
Skills and competence development at all stages of researchers
careers.
3. PEOPLE
Implementation Principles:
•
Open to all research areas of interest to the EC
•
Mobility – both trans-national and inter-sectoral is a key
feature.
•
Strong participation from enterprises
•
Grant – 100% of eligible costs. Eligible costs vary between
actions.

HOST ACTIONS
•
Initial Training Networks and Industry Academia Partnerships & Pathways
are Host Actions
•
This means:
• Host institutions/network applies for a number of fellows/researchers
• Host’s proposal is evaluated
• Selected host/network advertises fellowship position and selects
fellows/researchers
• Contract duration with host, usually 4 years
• Fellows’ stay depending on Action (up to 3 years)
INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS
Aimed at ‘Experienced Researchers’
Skills diversification
Five categories:
• Intra-European Fellowships
• International Incoming Fellowships
• International Outgoing Fellowships
• European Reintegration Fellowship
• International Reintegration Fellowship
