Call for proposals 2019 - European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept Grants ERC-2019-POC Open!
Objectives
The ERC Work Programme 2019 sets out the Objectives and Principles of ERC funding. The ERC's proof of concept grant is an add-on grant only on offer to Principal investigators that already benefit from an ERC main research grant (Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant, Advanced Grant or Synergy Grant). Proof of Concept Grants are therefore on offer only to Principal Investigators whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.
The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim to maximise the value of the excellent research that the ERC funds, by funding further work (i.e. activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) to verify the innovation potential of ideas arising from ERC funded projects.
The objective is to provide funds to enable ERC-funded ideas to be brought to a pre-demonstration stage where potential commercialisation or societal opportunities have been identified
