News archive - European Research Council Workprogramme

The Scientific Council of the European Research Council (ERC) has finalised the first draft of its work programme for 2007, outlining the main aspects of the programme. It will be open to excellent researchers of any nationality who are citizens of the EU, an associated country, or who are moving to the region.

The first call in 2007 will focus on the "Starting Independent Researcher Grant" with a budget of 300 million euro. The grant will allow researchers to independently manage the funding for the duration of the project. The bottom-up application process is open to all research fields. The second funding scheme - the "Advanced Investigator Grants" - will be introduced under the second call for proposals in the FP7 sub-programme called "Ideas", expected to be published later in 2007.
The draft of the work programme is available from the document service /doc/506.html.
