ERC Structure
The European Commission • Provides financing through the EU framework programmes
• Guarantees autonomy of the ERC
• Assures the integrity and accountability of the ERC
• Adopts annual work programmes as established by the Scientific Council
The ERC Executive Agency • Executes annual work programme as established by the Scientific Council
• Implements calls for proposals and provides information and support to applicants
• Organises peer review evaluation
• Establishes and manages grant agreements
• Administers scientific and financial aspects and follow-up of grant agreements
• Carries out communications activities and ensures information dissemination to ERC stakeholders

ERC Grant schemes
-
European Research Council
ERC offers independence, recognition & visibility
• to work on a research topic of own choice, with a team of own choice
• to gain true financial autonomy for 5 years
• to negotiate with the host institution the best conditions of work
• to attract top team members (EU and non-EU) and collaborators
• to move with the grant to any place in Europe if necessary (portability
of grants)
• to attract additional funding and gain recognition; ERC is a quality
label
│ 11
Creative freedom of the individual grantee
-
European Research Council
Flexibility:
Additional “start-up” funding for scientists moving to Europe (EUR 500 000 for Starting and EUR 1 Million for Advanced grantees)
Grantee can keep affiliation with home institute outside Europe (“significant part” of work time in Europe)
Team members can be based outside Europe
Grantee can move within Europe with the grant
Negotiation:
Several European countries/host institutions assist applicants and reward grantees with top-up funds or long-term
professorships
Attractive features
for researchers from outside Europe

ERC Grantees with Japanese nationality Project examples (I)
Dr. Kazufumi MOCHIZUKI Group Leader at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (Austria)
ERC Starting Grant RNA directed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena
How can cells distinguish
junk from precious DNA?
Evidence suggests that
small RNAs act as
security guards to
identify transposable
elements. However,
many remains unknown
about how these small
RNAs are produced, how
they patrol the genome,
and how they induce
heterochromatin.
Dr. Kazuya KOYAMA Reader in Cosmology at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, University of Portsmouth (UK)
ERC Starting Grant Modified Gravity as an Alternative to Dark Energy
The recent accelerated expansion of the universe originates from
dark energy or alternatively, by a large-distance modification to the
general relativity. The project purpose is to construct consistent
models for modified gravity and to develop efficient ways to combine
observational data sets to distinguish between the two models.

European Research Council
ERC Grantees with Japanese nationality Project examples (II)
The project objective is to explore low-temperature novel
phenomena of heavy fermion systems. It will focus on:
(1) new materials and high quality single crystals,
(2) precise temperature-pressure-field phase diagrams,
(3) quantum singularities and Fermiology,
(4) the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity,
(5) field-induced phenomena.
Many critical photo-chemical and photo-
physical processes depend on an efficient
light-matter interaction.
The project aims to drastically increase the
activities of (photo)catalysts, enabling their
efficient operation under sunlight or even in
weak room light conditions.

• Single submission
“1 stage, 2 step” evaluation
• Electronic submission via EPSS only
• Deadlines strictly enforced
• Proposals have two parts:
Part A: Administrative forms
• Structured information
Part B: Scientific proposal itself
• Free form pdf file

Proposal Structure: Part B Starting and Advanced Grants
• Section 1 = The Principal Investigator and a synopsis of the proposal
• Scientific Leadership potential (1 page)
• Early achievements track-record (2 pages)
• CV (including “funding ID”) (2 pages)
• 10-year track record (2 pages)
• Extended synopsis (5 pages)

Submission to Panels
• Proposals are submitted to a Targeted Panel (of PI's choice)
Can flag one “Secondary Review Panel”
• Applicant chooses his/her panel, this panel is “responsible” and takes ownership for the evaluation of the particular proposal
• Switching proposals between panels not possible unless clear mistake on part of applicant, or due to the necessary expertise being available in a different panel
• Switching proposals between domains (deadlines) not possible at all.
• But: In case of cross-panel or cross-domain proposals, evaluation by members of other panels possible
