Horizon Europe

Overview

Individual excellence funding in Pillar I of Horizon Europe

ERC Grants

Founded in 2007, ERC Grants have established themselves as a coveted award of scientific excellence for researchers. At its head is the Scientific Council, a body of outstanding scientists and academics. The ERC provides funding for individual researchers, so the funding is aimed exclusively at individual, excellent researchers and their teams.

Depending on the individual career stage and the specific project needs, the following ERC Grants can be applied for:

  • Starting Grants for researchers with 2 to 7 years of experience since completing their doctorate with up to 1.5 million euros over a maximum of 5 years
  • Consolidator Grants for researchers with 7 to 12 years of experience since completing their doctorate with up to 2 million euros over a maximum of 5 years
  • Advanced Grants for established researchers with up to 2.5 million euros over a period of up to 5 years
  • Synergy Grants for groups of 2 to 4 researchers and their teams with up to 10 million euros over a period of up to 6 years
  • Proof of concept for researchers who have already received an ERC grant and now want to investigate the commercial or societal potential of this funding

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships

Young researchers with up to 8 years of experience since completing their doctorate can benefit from participating in Postdoctoral Fellowships. The aim is to support the career of researchers and promote excellence in research. Funded researchers get the opportunity to conduct their research activity abroad, acquire new skills and advance their career.

There are two types of funding available:

  • European Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers who want to move within Europe or come to Europe to continue their research career. The duration of the funding varies from one to two years and is determined by the applicant.
  • Global Postdoctoral Fellowships support research stays outside Europe. This phase can last from one to two years and is followed by a mandatory return phase of one year at a European organisation.

Both types of funding can also include short-term secondments (up to a total of 6 months) to anywhere in the world during the funding period (except during the return phase of the Global Fellowship)

Collaborative projects in Pillar I of Horizon Europe: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks

Doctoral Networks    will run doctoral programs in which partnerships are formed between universities, research institutions, companies (incl. SMEs) and other socio-economic actors from different countries in Europe and beyond. These doctoral programs are designed to bring researchers from the academic and non-academic sectors into contact and provide research training and transferable skills and competencies relevant to the innovation and long-term employability of the grantees.

The network must consist of at least three institutions from three different EU Member States or Associated States, of which at least one participant should be from an EU Member State.

Collaborative projects in Pillar II of Horizon Europe

To maximize impact, flexibility and synergies, research and innovation activities under Pillar II of the EU Horizon Europe program are divided into six clusters that individually and collectively promote interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, cross-policy, cross-border and international collaboration:

missions

Horizon Europe's mission-oriented research and innovation policy is an approach to address the challenges people face in their daily lives. The bottom-up character of the missions   , their flexibility and clear involvement of citizens:inside, which goes hand in hand with excellence, are complementary to Pillar II of the EU Horizon Europe program.

The missions    are divided into five thematic areas:

  • Climate change adaptation, including societal change
  • Cancer
  • Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters
  • Climate
  • neutral smart cities
  • Soil health and nutrition
