Excellent Science Base • European Research Council (ERC) • Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) • Marie Curie Actions • Research Infrastructures • Industrial Leadership and Competitive Frameworks • Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies: • ICT; Nanotechnologies; Advanced Materials; Biotechnology; Advanced Manufacturing and Processing; and Space • Access to risk finance • Innovation in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) • Tackling Societal Challenges • Health, demographics changes and well being • Food security, sustainable agriculture, marine and maritime research • and the bio-economy • Secure, clean and efficient energy • Smart, green and integrated transport • Climate action and resource efficiency including raw materials • Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies • Secure Societies • European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) • Joint Research Centre (JRC) • Euratom (2014-2018)
European Research Council • ‘To encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-initiated frontier research across all fields of research, on the basis of scientific excellence’
ERC in Horizon 2020 • To fund the best ‘frontier research’ proposals submitted by excellent researchers, with scientific excellence as the sole evaluation criterion. • Will fund ‘individual’ teams, led by a Principal Investigator, on the basis of pan-European competition. • Programme of work • Will operate on a ‘bottom-up’ basis, without pre-determined research priorities.
ERC in Horizon 2020 • Principal investigators from anywhere in the world • Host institution must be in EU or Associated State • Increased budget proposed for the ERC in Horizon 2020 – increase of 77% over FP7 First calls due 11th December 2013 – deadlines in 2014 and 2015
Starting Grants 25th March 14? • Consolidating own independent research team or programme • Starting own independent research team or programme Consolidator Grants 3rd June 14?
Marie Curie Actions in Horizon 2020 • Fostering new skills by means of excellent initial training of researchers • Nurturing excellence by means of cross-border and cross-sector mobility • Stimulating innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge • Co-funding activities with regional, national and international funders Note: Now the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
