Three ERC frontier research grants will be available under Work Programme 2014: Starting; Consolidator; and Advanced Grants.
The two streams of what was previously known as the ERC Starting Grant were divided into two separate calls under Work Programme 2013.
The Scientific Council will analyse the pilot phase of the ERC Synergy Grant (calls were made under Work Programmes 2012 and 2013) before deciding on the scope and timing of future calls. There will be no call under Work Programme 2014.
Important extensions to the restrictions on applications will apply from the 2015 calls based on the outcome of the evaluation of the 2014 calls – see restrictions on submission of proposals under “Eligibility criteria” below.
ERC Principal Investigators will also continue to be able to apply for the Proof of Concept Grant, first introduced under the revised Work Programme 2011.:
