ERC Advanced grant call open for submission - deadline 29 Aug 2024

[Henningsen Susanne]

ERC Advanced Grants are designed to support excellent Principal 
Investigators at the career stage at which they are already established 
research leaders with a recognised track record of research 
achievements. Principal Investigators must demonstrate the 
ground-breaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their research 
proposal.

/*Size of ERC Advanced Grants*/

Advanced Grants may be awarded up to a maximum of *EUR 2 500 000* for a 
period of *5 years* (the maximum amount of the grants is reduced pro 
rata temporis for projects of a shorter duration).

However, up to an *additional* *EUR 1 000 000* can be requested in the 
proposal to cover (a) eligible "start-up" costs for Principal 
Investigators moving to the EU or an Associated Country from elsewhere 
as a consequence of receiving the ERC grant, and/or (b) the purchase of 
major equipment, and/or (c) access to large facilities, and/or (d) other 
major experimental and field work costs, excluding personnel costs. (As 
any additional funding is to cover major one-off costs it is not subject 
to pro-rata temporis reduction for projects of shorter duration. All 
funding requested is assessed during evaluation).

The Advanced Grant will be awarded as a single lump sum contribution for 
the entirety of the project. The lump sum will cover the beneficiaries' 
estimated costs for the project.

/*Profile of the ERC Advanced Grant Principal Investigator*/

ERC Advanced Grant Principal Investigators are expected to be active 
researchers and to have a track record of significant research achievements.
