The ERC Synergy Grant call is designed to support projects that address a research problem so ambitious that it requires a team of 2-4 Principal Investigators (PIs) to address it.
Applications can be made in any field of research. The ERC's grants operate on a 'bottom-up' basis without predetermined priorities.
The deadline for the proposal submission is Wednesday 10 November 2021 at 17:00 CET. Please note that it is the Principal Investigator who is responsible for submitting the application.
Draft Applications including Budget in the call template should reach the RSSD office, putting the Project Support office in copy, by not later than Wednesday 13 October 2021 to ensure reviewing in time.
The finalised Applications and Budget need to reach the RSSD office, putting the Project Support office in copy, by not later than Wednesday 27 October 2021 to ensure processing in time.
Please note that a draft application always needs to be sent in advance of the finalised application in order to allow time for reviewing.
In order to ensure the quality of proposals submitted and equitableness to all applications, proposals received beyond these dates will not be processed.
