*National Contact Point European Research Council*

The National Contact Point European Research Council (NCP ERC) works on 
behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). It is 
jointly operated by the EU-Bureau of the BMBF and the European Liaison 
Office of the German Research Organisations (KoWi). The NCP ERC gives 
advice on funding opportunities under Horizon 2020 – the EU Framework 
Programme for Research and Innovation. Support is offered at all stages 
of programme participation. The NCP ERC is the officially recognised 
contact point for European Commission Services and forms an integral 
part of the official NCP network of the Federal Government of Germany.
For over 20 years, the DLR Project Management Agency, as a competent 
service provider in the field of research, innovation, and education, 
has been in charge of the headquarters of the German NCP network and 
hosts the NCPs for all horizontal programme sections as well as several 
thematic NCPs.
The "European Liaison Office of the German Research Organisations" 
(KoWi) is the joint service platform of the German research 
organisations united in the "Association for the Promotion of European 
and International Cooperation in Science e.V.".
