European Research Council
The European Research Council supports research in the knowledge frontier, as well as innovative ideas in new scientific fields;
The ERC wants to encourage competitive non-oriented research in all fields, with the only premise of scientific excellence;
ERC principles: • 1 principal investigator, 1 institution, 1 project & 1 selection criterion:
scientific excellence;• There are no consortia, networks nor co-financing;• Projects from all areas are funded;• Bottom-up approach;• The principal investigator can be of any nationality, age and find
herself in any stage of her scientific career.Work programme: https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal//doc/call/h2020/common/1587810-erc_c(2013)_8632_en.pdf

Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions
It is the main programme for the professional development of PhDs; The MSCA supports the development of the scientific career and the
training of researchers from any discipline, emphasising mobility and the cooperation between companies and academia;
It offers funding for PhD students and postdocs in all stages of their scientific career, promoting transnational mobility, intersectorial and scientific discipline transition
Bottom-up approach
Work programme: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2014_2015/main/h2020-wp1415-msca_en.pdf
Remember the mobility requirement: researchers shall not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date
Research ServiceMay 2014
MSCA-IF Workshop
on the 26th June!
Innovative Training Networks Objectives:
• Increase PhD and Master’s students’ excellence;• Structure research and predoctoral training
Scope: PhD students Expected impact:
• Increase the potential of the predoctoral researchers providing them with new career and academic perspectives;
• Achieve cooperation among participant institutions
Research ServiceMay 2014
Individual Fellowships Objective: increase the creativity and innovative potential of experienced
researchers. Scope:
• Individual and transnational actions that are awarded to the best researchers or those who are the most promising;
• Focused on career development, not on experience;• Career Restart Panel and Reintegration Panel.
Expected impact: extracting the full potential from researchers and achieve a significant leap in their careers, both in the academic and non-academic sectors.

The importance of Networking
What are your colleagues up to? Can you collaborate with them?
If this is your first European project consider being a partner;
• There are no small roles;
• Once you have started, it will be easier to participate in more projects;
Sell your expertise;
Either as a partner or as a coordinator, the Research Service will help you.
Research ServiceMay 2014
Conditions for the participation
Oriented research; Formation of a consortium with at least 3 independent institutions
established in different EU member or associated countries;• Possibility of including 3rd countries only if they provide indispensable
added value. If their participation is essential they will receive funding; if it is not, they will not receive any funding.
Bear in mind that each call might have specific requirements:• Indispensable (mandatory participation) countries;• Number of participants;• Participation of certain entities (trade unions, NGOs, hospitals...).
Present the full proposal within the deadline.
