Ideas Capacities

ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grant (StG)

Next call: approx. June 2008

ERC Advanced Investigator Researcher Grant (AdG)

Next call: running until 28 February

„supporting basic research at the scientific frontiers(implemented by the European Research Council).“


• Investigator-driven „bottom-up“ frontier research, risky, for the benefit of science and society

• No themes, interdisciplinary, different panels forevaluation

• Implemented by the European Research Council (ERC) – the first pan-European funding agency for Frontier Research

• Competition at European level• Sole Criterium: scientific excellence• Single teams (not networks) – excellent PI• Scientific autonomy• Budget ~ €1bn p.a.: 2/3 AdG, 1/3 StG• Simple, user-friendly

ERC - Ideas


Ideas – ERC Starting Grant

• Young Researchers ( 2 – 9 yearsafter PhD)

• Support for establishing an independent team

• 0.5 - 2 Mio. Euro per grant• Duration: up to 5 years• two-stage application procedure

Only 3 % from over 9000 proposals got funded –but in our Institute two!

Congratulations Reinhard Kienberger and Tobias Kippenberg!

„strengthening, quantitatively and qualitatively, the human potential in research and technology in Europe, making it more attractiveto the best researchers “

1. Initial Training of Researchers

2. Life-long learning and career development

3. Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways

4. International dimension

5. Specific Actions


Concept of research experiencein Marie Curie Actions

Early-stage researchers:– are in the first four years (FTE) of their research careers

(starting at the date of obtaining a degree which wouldformally entitle them to embark on a doctorate)

Experienced researchers:– are in possession of a doctoral degree, independently of

the time taken to acquire itOR– have at least four years (FTE) research experience
