The ERC Scientific Council is sharing its tentative planning for the 2021-2022 ERC calls for proposals. As of now, the following intended timetable has been presented:
Call | Opening Date | Deadline Date |
Starting Grant 2021 | 12 Jan 2021 | 9 March 2021 |
Consolidator Grant 2021 | 21 Jan 2021 | 20 April 2021 |
Advanced Grant 2021 | 20 May 2021 | 31 Aug 2021 |
These dates are still subject to change. We count on a few months' delay, as budget negotiations and Horizon Europe plans are still ongoing and somehow delayed. Still, it is good to take the dates provided as guideline for earliest dates to-be-expected (and avoid surprises).
NWO and ZonMw have numerous funding options. Below are a selected listed of upcoming calls and/or of interest for the UT community.
