Submit an ERC Grant Proposal
ERC Calls for Proposals
ERC grant applications can be submitted only in response to a "call for proposals".
Depending on the subject area of a research proposal there are three deadlines applying to a call for proposals. It is up to the applicant to choose and decide on the most appropriate ERC peer review evaluation panel and the corresponding deadline. Applicants must submit their proposals before the deadline of the selected ERC Panel. The panel structure and the descriptors for each panel can be found here.
Details on the ERC Panels are provided in the Guide for Applicants - Grant Schemes.
Additionally, the ERC may call for proposals on so-called "Coordination and Support Actions” (CSAs) which are focused on selected issues where the ERC is seeking for external support, services and expertise.
Calls for proposals will be published annually for both ERC grant schemes.
The 2009-2010 calls are indicated below. For the annual budget evolution 2007-2013, please consult the chart at the end of the page.
