Call timeline

The 2022 joint call will use a two-stage application process with a pre-proposal mechanism for the first stage. The calendar of the various stages is shown below.

Documents

• The Guidelines for proposers contains a description of the topics covered by the 2022 joint call, information on the participating funding organizations and the budgets available, and other important information for researchers wishing to submit a proposal.
• The pre-proposal form to use to prepare pre-proposals in the first stage of the call.
• The Guidelines for evaluators are written for the experts who will evaluate the projects, but will be useful to researchers who wish to understand the evaluation criteria.
• Templates for the SAF€RA progress reports, which must be sent to the SAF€RA Call Secretariat by the project coordinator on behalf of the project consortium. The mid-term reporting template should be submitted halfway through your project, assuming the project has a duration greater than 18 months. A final administrative report should be sent by all projects, within three months of the end of the project. (This report is distinct from the final scientific report which most projects will be producing as one of their deliverables.)

A web-based matchmaking facility is available to help researchers wishing to submit projects as a consortium to find partners.
