ERC Synergy Grant

The ERC Synergy Grant supports collaborative research projects addressing ambitious research problems that cannot be tackled by a single Principal Investigator working alone. This program brings together groups of two to four Principal Investigators with different skills and resources to achieve outstanding intrinsic synergetic effects. Proposals are evaluated on the sole criterion of scientific excellence and can be submitted in any field of research on a bottom-up basis without predetermined priorities. The grant provides substantial funding to support frontier research conducted at public or private research organizations in EU Member States or associated countries.
