Descrição
The European Research Council (ERC)'s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, on the basis of scientific excellence.
The ERC Synergy Grant is part of the main ERC frontier research grants 2023 funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. The ERC's frontier research grants aim to empower individual researchers and provide the best settings to foster their creativity. Scientific excellence is the sole criterion of evaluation in all ERC frontier research grants

Elegibilidade
A group of two to maximum four Principal Investigators (PIs) – of which one will be designated as the corresponding PI (cPI) – working together and bringing different skills and resources to tackle ambitious research problems. No specific eligibility criteria regarding the academic training are foreseen for ERC Synergy Grants. PIs must present an early achievement track-record or a ten-year track-record, whichever is most appropriate.
Proposals will be evaluated on the sole criterion of scientific excellence which, in the case the ERC Synergy Grants, takes on the additional meaning of outstanding intrinsic synergetic effect.
Applications can be made in any field of research.
The ERC's grants operate on a 'bottom-up' basis without predetermined priorities. In the case of the ERC Synergy Grants, applications must demonstrate that the proposed research cannot be carried out by a single PI working alone.
Research must be conducted by all PIs in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution, HI). It could be the HI where the applicant already works, or any other HI established in one of the EU Member States or Associated Countries.
One Principal Investigator per Synergy Grant group at any one time can be hosted or engaged by an institution outside of the EU or Associated Countries.
Applications for an ERC Synergy Grant must be submitted by a minimum of two to a maximum of four Principal Investigators (PI), with one of the PIs acting as corresponding PI (cPI). The cPI will act as a contact point of behalf of the group.
Valor Financiado
Synergy Grant can be up to a maximum of EUR 10.000.000,00 for a period of 6 years. For projects of shorter duration the maximum size of the grant is reduced pro rata. However, up to an additional EUR 4.000.000,00 can be requested to cover:
‘start-up’ costs for PIs moving to EU or an Associated Country from elsewhere as a consequence of receiving the ERC grant and/or
the purchase of major equipment and/or
access to large facilities and/or
other major experimental and field work costs, excluding personnel costs.
Project costs will be reimbursed at a funding rate of 100% for direct costs plus a flat-rate of 25% for indirect costs.
