News archive - Update on ERC calls for proposals 2014
As the EU’s Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7) will finish at the end of this year, the main ERC calls for proposals within FP7 are now closed. The next ERC calls will be made under the future programme, ‘Horizon 2020’, that will take over from FP7 for 2014 to 2020.
However, 'Horizon 2020’ has not yet been adopted. As is normally the case during the transition from one framework programme to another, the schedule for the next ERC calls (and ERC Work Programme) is very likely to differ from previous years.
The ERC Scientific Council has discussed the issue and, based on the current state of play, it can provide the following possible scenario on a purely indicative basis:
- Publication of the provisional schedule for the new calls (ERC Work Programme 2014), late in 2013;
-
Opening and submission deadlines of new ERC calls throughout 2014:
Starting grants; first and second quarter of 2014
Consolidator grants; second quarter of 2014
Advanced grants; fourth quarter of 2014 - No further calls for Synergy grants in 2013 and 2014;
- Normal schedule for Proof of Concept grants (one call with two deadlines in 2014).
Although no final decision has yet been taken by the EU, the ERC Scientific Council provides, without any commitment, this provisional information for the convenience of the scientific community.
The ERC will do its utmost to make the transition as smooth as possible and provide the necessary continuity for the research community.
No further information is available at this stage on the calendar, budget or rules of the next calls.
Stay informed on the ERC website and the Participant Portal.
