European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant

This call funds two to four PIs who bring together complementary skills, knowledge and expertise (interdisciplinary) to jointly address a ground-breaking research problem of their own design. Projects must be transformative on a global scale. 

Each PI must be internationally competitive and have a unique and key role in the project. Each PI will bring their own team to the project and will run their own part of the project.

You will need to explain the synergies and complementarities of the PIs that make them uniquely able to work together towards the major and significant breakthrough anticipated in the project, and why this combination of PIs is the only way the project’s research aims can be addressed.

PIs can be from one institution or from different host institutions, from one country or from more than one country.
