Address
Pavillon 7, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles View mapThe European Research Council (ERC) is an organisation of the European Commission aimed at funding excellence in research. It supports investigator-driven frontier research and stimulates scientific excellence by awarding long-term grants to individual researchers from anywhere in the world to carry out their research in a European host organisation. With four main granting schemes, the ERC supports researchers at different stages of their careers:
- the Starting Grant supports young investigators moving to independence
- the Consolidator Grant strengthens recently created teams
- the Advanced Grant provides to well-established scientists an opportunity to develop innovative or high-risk research
- the Synergy Grant brings several teams together to jointly address complex research topics.
The ERC has been very active in supporting cutting-edge and innovative research in all fields of neuroscience. Besides giving details on these different schemes and how to apply, this session will also be a unique opportunity to meet with ERC grantees presenting their project and sharing their ERC experience. The session will also give information about Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions.
