ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grant (StG)
Next call: approx. June 2008
ERC Advanced Investigator Researcher Grant (AdG)
Next call: running until 28 February
„supporting basic research at the scientific frontiers(implemented by the European Research Council).“
15.02.2008 MPQ – FP7 Funding Overview & Experiences 16
• Investigator-driven „bottom-up“ frontier research, risky, for the benefit of science and society
• No themes, interdisciplinary, different panels forevaluation
• Implemented by the European Research Council (ERC) – the first pan-European funding agency for Frontier Research
• Competition at European level• Sole Criterium: scientific excellence• Single teams (not networks) – excellent PI• Scientific autonomy• Budget ~ €1bn p.a.: 2/3 AdG, 1/3 StG• Simple, user-friendly
ERC - Ideas
15.02.2008 MPQ – FP7 Funding Overview & Experiences 17
Ideas – ERC Starting Grant
• Young Researchers ( 2 – 9 yearsafter PhD)
• Support for establishing an independent team
• 0.5 - 2 Mio. Euro per grant• Duration: up to 5 years• two-stage application procedure
Only 3 % from over 9000 proposals got funded –but in our Institute two!

Concept of research experiencein Marie Curie Actions
Early-stage researchers:– are in the first four years (FTE) of their research careers
(starting at the date of obtaining a degree which wouldformally entitle them to embark on a doctorate)
Experienced researchers:– are in possession of a doctoral degree, independently of
the time taken to acquire itOR– have at least four years (FTE) research experience
