    On 25 July 2016, the European Research Council (ERC) published its annual work programme which includes the new calls for 2017. The European Research Council (ERC) provides funding opportunities for excellent scientists in all fields of research with approximately 1.8 billion euros in 2017. The ERC annually launches calls for proposals in three funding schemes: Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants and Advanced Grants. It provides funding opportunities for excellent researchers of any nationality who wish to carry out their research at an institution in Europe.

    On 26 July, the ERC opened the calls for the “Starting Grants (StG)“ scheme. The "Starting Grants" are designed for excellent young scientists of all nationalities with 2-7 years of experience following their PhD. Deadline for this call is 18 October 2016. The “Consolidator Grants (CoG)“ call will be open from 20 October 2016 until 9 February 2017. ERC Consolidator Grants support promising researchers who are at the beginning of an independent research career and who are between 7-12 years after achieving their PhD. The application for the “Advanced Grants (AdG)“ scheme will be open from 16 May 2017 until 31 August 2017. The call for "Advanced Grants" addresses excellent, established researchers with research experience of more than 10 years.

    ERC grants are awarded for a period of up to five years with a funding amount of up to 2 million euros for "Starting Grants", 2.75 million euros for “Consolidator Grants“ and up to 3.5 million euros for "Advanced Grants". All schemes are open to researchers of any nationality and any current place of work. However, ERC projects must be carried out at an institution in Europe. Calls for the funding scheme “Proof of Concept” are set to open on 2 August 2016. This scheme exclusively targets ERC grant holders (StG, CoG or AdG) who seek to establish the innovation potential of ideas arising from their ERC-funded projects. Researchers can apply for the deadlines 19 January 2017, 25 April 2017 and 5 September 2017.

    Providing advice to applicants

    The German National Contact Point ERC, a collaboration between the EU-Bureau of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (EU-Büro des BMBF) and the "European Liaison Office of the German Research Organisations" (Kooperationsstelle EU der Wissenschaftsorganisationen - KoWi), offers its free-of-charge services to any researcher with a (future) host institution in Germany. Besides rendering individual advice to applicants, the NCP ERC also offers workshops and information sessions on ERC in Germany. The EU-Bureau of the BMBF is located at the DLR Project Management Agency in the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). It unites several tasks and services under a single roof and acts initially as a contact point for general information and questions regarding the EU Research Framework Programme.

    Organisations and potential grantees may find information and the NCP ERC event calendar on http://www.erc-germany.de (in English) or http://www.nks-erc.de (in German). The NCP team will be happy to answer any questions concerning the application.

    Updated Work Programme 2016/2017 for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

    The updated version of the work programme 2016/2017 for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSC) 2016/2017 has also been also published. The MSC actions promote cross-border and cross-sectoral mobility of researchers as well as of technical and managerial staff and offer attractive opportunities for career advancement and knowledge exchange. Organisations and potential applicants may find information on the MSC actions on http://www.nks-msc.de. The NCP team will be happy to answer any questions concerning the application.
