2 Outline What is the ERC? Background, principles p What we offer The ERC grants and the rules of the game Evaluation Procedure Evaluation Procedure How to prepare and submit a grant

3 ERC in a nutshell The ERC supports excellence in frontier research through a bottom-up, individual-based, pan-european competition Budget: 7,5 billion ( ) 2013) Go overnan nce The EU provides the financing through the 7th FP Support by the ERC Executive Agency (autonomous) Independent Scientific Council with 22 members has full authority over funding strategy (type and timing of calls, evaluation procedures, eligibility rules) cteristic cs Chara Excellence as the only criterion Support t for the individual id scientist t no networks! Global peer-review No predetermined subjects (bottom-up) Support of frontier research in all fields of science and humanities 2

4 ERC basic Structure The European Commission Provides financing through the EU framework programmes Guarantees autonomy of the ERC Assures the integrity and accountability of the ERC Adopts annual work programmes as established by the Scientific Council The Scientific Council 22 prominent researchers proposed by an independent identification committee Appointed by the Commission (4 years, renewable once) Establishes overall scientific strategy; annual work programmes (incl. calls for proposals, evaluation criteria); peer review methodology; selection and accreditation of experts Controls quality of operations and management Ensures communication with the scientific community The ERC Agency Executes annual work programme as established by the Scientific Council Implements calls for proposals and provides information and support to applicants Organises peer review evaluation Establishes and manages grant agreements Administers scientific and financial aspects and follow-up of grant agreements Carries out communications activities and ensures information dissemination to ERC stakeholders

5 Strategic principles All fields of science are eligible Investigator-driven, bottom-up Excellence is the only valid criterion Individual team + research project Irrespective of nationality, gender or age of researchers Investment in research talent Attractive, flexible grants, up to five years Under control of the Principal Investigator (PI) Independent individual teams in Europe All nationalities can apply Host organisation to be located in EU or Associated Country 5

6 After 6 years of existence A success story Highly recognised by the research community over top researchers funded (65% are at an earlycareer stage); 58 nationalities represented Working in >500 different institutions in 29 countries Highly competitive (average success rate 12%) Benchmarking effect, e.g. pan-european competition among researchers; EU value added Efficient and fast grant management 6

8 CG ERC Grants : The basic rules of the game

9 ERC Grant schemes Starting Grants starters (2-7 years after PhD) up to 2.0 Mio for 5 years Consolidator Grants consolidators (7-12 years after PhD) up to 2.75 Mio for 5 years Advanced Grants track-record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years up to 3.5 Mio for 5 years Synergy Grants 2 4 Principal Investigators up to 15.0 Mio for 6 years Proof of Concept bridging gap between research - earliest stage of marketable innovation up to 150, for ERC grant holders

10 Call budget distribution for 2013 calls Breakdown per domain LS : Life Sciences PE : Physical Sciences & Engineering SH : Social Sciences & Humanities 10

11 Who can apply? Excellent Researchers Any nationality, any age or any current place of work In conjunction with a Host Institution based in EU or associated countries (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Israel, Turkey, Croatia, FYROM, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Faroe Islands, Republic of Moldova) 11

12 Host institution Applicant legal entity: institution that engages and hosts the PI for the duration of the project Any type of legal entity: universities, research centres, business research units as long as it is in Member State or Associated Country Commitment of HI: to ensure that the PI may - apply for funding independently - manage research and funding for the project -publish independently d as senior author - have access to reasonable space and facilities

13 Attractive features for researchers from outside Europe Incentive: Additional start-up funding for scientists moving to Europe (EUR for Starting, EUR for Consolidator, and EUR 1 Million for Advanced grantees) Flexibility: Grantee can keep affiliation with home institute outside Europe ( significant part of work time in Europe) Team members can be based outside Europe Grantee can move within Europe with the grant 13

14 Creative freedom of the individual grantee ERC offers independence, recognition & visibility to work on a research topic of own choice, with a team of own choice to gain true financial autonomy for 5 years to negotiate t with the host institution the best conditions of work to attract top team members (EU and non-eu) and collaborators to move with the grant to any place in Europe if necessary (portability t of grants) to attract additional funding and gain recognition; ERC is a quality label 14
