On October 29th, the European Research Council (ERC) published 3 new ERC Advanced Grants jointly amounting EUR 590 million. These calls for proposals target researchers who have already established themselves as independent research leaders.

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.
