ERC typology

4 types of projects are financed by the ERC:

  • Starting: For researchers of any nationality with 2-7 years of experience since completion of PhD (or equivalent degree) and scientific track record showing great promise

  • Consolidator: For researchers of any nationality with over 7 and up to 12 years of experience since completion of PhD (or equivalent degree) and scientific track record showing great promise

  • Advanced : For researchers with up to 12 years of experience

  • Proof of Concept: is a funding scheme open to researchers who have already been awarded an ERC grant. Its purpose is to help ERC grantees explore the innovation potential of their research or support commercialisation of the results of their ERC-funded research

2. Others european projects financed within the Université Paris-Saclay

The members institutions of the Université Paris-Saclay are also involved in many other european projects, either as coordinators or partners. The table below takes an inventory the european projects funded under the FP7 and Horizon 2020. This list is not exhaustive, to complete it do not hesitate to contact us.
