  1. FP7 IDEAS ProgrammeThe European Research Council Unit A1: Support to the Scientific Council

  2. What is ERC? • The ERC supports excellence in frontier research through a bottom-up, individual-based, pan-European competition • Budget: € 7.5billion (2007-2013) - 1.1 billion €/year • Scientific governance: independent Scientific Council with 22 members; full authority over funding strategy • Support by the ERC Executive Agency (autonomous) • Excellence as the only criterion Legislation • Support for the individual scientist – no networks! • Global peer-review • No predetermined subjects (bottom-up) • Support of frontier research in all fields of science and humanities Strategy │ 2

  3. ERC Grant schemes Starting Grants starters (2-7 years after PhD) up to € 2.0 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 Consolidator Grants consolidators (7-12 years after PhD) up to € 2.75 Mio for 5 years Proof-of-Concept bridging gap between research - earliest stage of marketable innovation up to €150,000 for ERC grant holders Synergy Grants 2 – 4 Principal Investigators up to € 15.0 Mio for 6 years

  4. ERC Grant schemes Next call 2013: Consolidator Grants consolidators (7-12 years after PhD) up to € 2.75 Mio for 5 years Call for proposals for ERC Consolidator Grant Identifier: ERC-2013-CoGPublication Date: 07 November 2012 Budget: € 523 000 000 Deadline:  21 February 2013 at 17:00:00 OJ Reference: OJ C339 of 7 November 2012Specific Programme(s):  IDEASTheme(s): ERCAdditional informationPlease note that the call 'ERC-2013-CoG' consists of one call with a single deadline applying to the three domains: • Physical Sciences & Engineering (Panels: PE1 – PE10),
• Life Sciences (Panels: LS1 – LS9),
• Social Sciences & Humanities (Panels: SH1 – SH6). The deadline for all domains of this call is 21 February 2013, 17:00:00 (Brussels local time).
The budget indicated above is the total budget covering all domains.

  5. Creative freedom of the individual grantee │ 5 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 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 of grants) to attract additional funding and gain recognition;ERC is a quality label

  6. ERC Competitions 2007-2012 │ 6 Data as of 26/09/2012

  7. Highly competitive Average success rate: 12%

  8. The European Research Council Prospects for the future

  9. ERC in FP7 and in H2020 : Changes and Continuity Essential features maintained • Independent Scientific Council with full authority over funding strategy • Executive Agency with autonomous operation • Scientific excellence - the sole criterion on which ERC grants are awarded Strengthening the Scientific Governance of the European Research Council • Strengthening the links between the Scientific Council and the Executive Agency • Merging positions of President of ERC and Secretary General • Full-time President based in Brussels • 3 Vice-Chairs elected from amongst the Scientific Council members • Strengthening the role of Scientists in the Steering Committee of the ERCEA • Strengthening the relation of the Scientific Council and the ERCEA Strengthening the links between ERC and other parts of H2020 which aim to reinforce European Science base “Bringing ERC with Marie Curie, FET and Research Infrastructures together in a single programme will enable them to operate with greater coherence and in a rationalised, simplified and more focused way” (example: RI: LaserLab Europe: http://www.laserlab-europe.eu/research/advanced-grants-for-laserlab-researchers
