Dear Sir/Madam,
The ERC Advanced Grants call was opened on May 28, with a deadline of August 27, 2026, at 17:00—meaning it is just around the corner.
I am pleased to inform you that for the researchers planning to apply for an ERC Advanced Grant in the upcoming call, an online, internal training session for applicants will be held on 29.06.2025 from 10:00 AM to 12:15 PM.
Please find enclosed the link to registration, which is open until June 25.06. Registered persons will receive a link to the training session on the Zoom platform.
Key Information About the Call at a glance:
- Target Audience: Researchers representing any scientific discipline who are recognized leaders in their field. The Principal Investigator (PI) executing an ERC Advanced Grant is expected to be an active scientist with a proven track record of significant research achievements.
- Maximum Project Duration: 60 months.
- Maximum Project Budget: €2.5 million + an optional €1 million in additional funding (associated, for example, with the purchase of major research equipment, access costs to large-scale research infrastructure, or the costs of experiments or fieldwork), provided these are essential for carrying out the proposed work and are well justified.
- Submission: Applications must be submitted online via the Funding and Tenders Portal (F&T Portal).
- Evaluation: Applications are evaluated in two stages (written and oral) by domain-specific panels and individual experts from around the world. Application forms are to be downloaded from the F&T Portal.
