/The ERC Scientific Council proposes further measures linked to COVID-19 /
Applicants will be able to declare delays or interruptions in their 
scientific work due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the new application 
templates for ERC Calls 2022. This information will be taken into 
account in the evaluation process, similar to career interruptions due 
to parental leave, etc. This innovation will also be included and 
explained in the guidelines for evaluators.
