47 The ERC shall provide attractive and flexible funding to enable talented and creative individual researchers and their teams to pursue the most promising avenues at the frontier of science.. scientific excellence shall be the sole criterion on which ERC grants are awarded. The ERC shall operate on a bottomup basis without predetermined priorities. Horizon 2020 proposal text

48 The ERC seeks to fund the best frontier research proposals submitted by excellent researchers, with excellence as the single peer review criterion. Will fund projects led by a Principal Investigator, if necessary supported by a team (no need for pan-european collaboration). Will operate on a bottom-up basis, without pre-determined research priorities. 25 panels in 3 domains which proposals can be submitted to: Physical Sciences and Engineering Life Sciences Social Sciences and Humanities Total ERC budget: 11.6bn (compared with 7.5bn in FP7)

49 Excellent, innovative and investigator-initiated research projects can be basic or applied research, in any field of research Flexible projects to promote substantial advances in frontier research such as: questions at or beyond the frontiers of knowledge without regard for established disciplinary boundaries could be: interdisciplinary proposals crossing the boundaries between different research fields pioneering proposals addressing new and emerging fields of research proposals introducing unconventional, innovative approaches and scientific inventions

50 ERC allocated around 12.7 billion for Horizon 2020 (compares to the allocation of 7.5 billion for FP7). Highest amount of funding to go to the Starting Grants and Consolidator Grants schemes. But due to the progressive increases in the annual ERC budget until 2013, budget allocations won t exceed 2013 levels until 2016 calls

51 Starting Grants 2-7 years postdoc Up to 1.5-2m for 5 years Consolidator Grants 7 12 years postdoc Up to m for 5 years Advanced Grants Leading researchers Up to 3-3.5m for 5 years Synergy Grants 2 4 PIs Up to 15m for 6 years Proof of Concept ERC grant holders 150k for up to 18 months Horizon 2020 general funding rate of 100% direct + 25% indirect costs applies

53 Eligibility for StG and CoG calls now measured from 1 January of call year, not call publication date No maximum limit for extensions to eligibility window for StG and CoG calls Extensions to eligibility now available for illness of relative (child, spouse, parent, sibling) Slight increase to PoC budget from EUR 15m to EUR 20m; also 3 rather than 2 deadlines (Feb 2015 / May 2015 / Oct 2015) No pre-allocated budget split between 3 domains New rule on multiple apps: may submit proposals to different ERC frontier grant calls in same WP, but only 1 st eligible one will be evaluated. CoG now only requires 40% commitment from PI

54 54 Central to the grant and review criteria Must have the potential to be a future independent research leader in their own right Has the power to assemble a research group of team members & freedom to chose the research topic Expected to lead their team and be fully engaged in the running of the grant Can be of any age, nationality or current location

55 55 Can be any type of legal entity Must be based in the territory of an EU Member State or Associated Country The PI does not have to be based there at the time of application Has the infrastructure and capacity to carry out frontier research project Must not constrain the PI to the research strategy of the institution Normally employs the PI

56 56 Must provide appropriate conditions for the PI to direct independently the research and manage the ERC funding Not assessed as a separate criterion during Peer Review Is the applicant legal entity Signs a Supporting Statement as part of application If funded signs up to the Grant Agreement If funded, signs a Supplementary Agreement with the PI Host institution should not really be changed during review process but researchers can move once funded

57 57 PI has freedom to choose appropriate team members (the ERC s term) Constitution of individual research team is flexible (senior research staff, post-docs, PhDs, non academic staff, etc ) PI's host institution normally the only institution; could have team members from other institutions in the same or different countries (institutions will sign Grant Agreement) Team members can be of any age, nationality & country of residence Team members do not need to be independent Resubmission rules do not apply to team members REMEMBER: Individual research team headed by a single PI (including any team members at other institutions) so NOT a traditional network or research consortium

58 Starting Grants and Consolidator Grants The ERC panel will evaluate the PI s intellectual capacity, creativity and commitment. This includes: ability to propose and conduct ground-breaking research and achievements going beyond the state-of-the-art. abundant evidence of creative independent thinking. the ERC grant would contribute significantly to the establishment and/or further consolidation of the PI's independence. commitment to the project (minimum 50% of the PI s total working time for StG, 40% for CoG).

59 Starting Grants Who is a competitive candidate? Must be able to show potential for excellence and evidence of maturity: expectation for at least one important publication without the participation of the PhD supervisor promising track record of early achievements appropriate to field and career stage, including: significant publications (as main author) in major international peer-reviewed journals and/or monographs invited presentations, granted patents, awards, prizes etc good leadership potential and must convince the ERC panel that the PI will be able to lead an ambitious frontier research project

60 Consolidator Grants Who is a competitive candidate? Must be able to show potential for excellence and evidence of maturity: it is expected that applicants will have produced at least several important publications without the participation of their PhD supervisor promising track record of early achievements appropriate to field and career stage, including: significant publications (as main author) in major international peer-reviewed major scientific journals and/or monographs invited presentations, granted patents, awards, prizes etc good leadership potential and must convince the ERC panel that you will be able to lead an ambitious frontier research project

61 Advanced Grants The ERC panel will evaluate the PI s intellectual capacity, creativity and commitment and their track record should be characterised by: groundbreaking research & achievements going beyond the state-of-the-art abundant evidence of creative independent thinking sound leadership in the training and advancement of young scientists commitment to the project (minimum 30% of the PI s total working time)

62 Advanced Grants Who is a competitive candidate? Must be able to show potential for excellence and evidence of maturity: No eligibility requirement of a PhD, but the PI must have an excellent track record of research achievements in the last 10 years: - 10 publications (as senior author) in major international peer-reviewed major scientific journals - or 3 major research monographs promising track record of early achievements appropriate to field and career stage, including: invited presentations, granted patents, awards, prizes, led expeditions, etc good leadership potential and must convince the ERC panel that you will be able to lead an ambitious frontier research project

63 Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grants ERC operates a single-stage submission and two-stage evaluation process: Step 1: panel evaluates 5-page Extended Synopsis, CV and track record sections Step 2: panel evaluates 15-page full proposal description (in conjunction with the sections above) An interview with the PI forms part of the step 2 evaluation for Starting and Consolidator Grants (not for Advanced Grants). PI must choose the panel, based on the keywords and panel descriptors in the Guide for Applicants. Panel consists of up to 15 leading researchers.
