Synergy Grants: European Research Council 1536 views

European Research Council (ERC) offers Synergy Grants to a group of two to maximum four Principal Investigators (PIs).

About the Grants:

  • One of the PIS will be designated as the corresponding PI (cPI) – working together and bringing different skills and resources to tackle ambitious research problems.
  • No specific eligibility criteria regarding the academic training are foreseen for ERC Synergy Grants.
  • PIs must present an early achievement track-record or a ten-year track-record, whichever is most appropriate.
  • Proposals will be evaluated on the sole criterion of scientific excellence which, in the case the ERC Synergy Grants, takes on the additional meaning of outstanding intrinsic synergetic effect.
  • The ERC’s grants operate on a ‘bottom-up’ basis without predetermined priorities. In the case of the ERC Synergy Grants, applications must demonstrate that the proposed research cannot be carried out by a single PI working alone.

Criteria:

  • Applications are welcome from any field of research.
  • Research must be conducted by all PIs in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution, HI). It could be the HI where the applicant already works, or any other HI established in one of the EU Member States or Associated Countries
  • PIs can apply within the same HI or through different HIs. Where the different PIs may be hosted by more than one HI, each of these HIs shall offer their support to the PI(s) hosted by them for the duration of the grant. At submission stage, however, only the cHI must provide the host support letter for the cPI and any other PI that will be hosted by the cHI.

Grants value: up to a maximum of € 10 million; addition € 4 million can be requested

Duration of Grants: 6 years (pro rata for projects of shorter duration)
