About the event
The ERC Proof of Concept Grants (PoC) aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research. You may apply for a PoC if you are a Principal Investigator in a Starting, Consolidator, Advanced or Synergy Grant.
Line Fredslund Volkers, call coordinator for PoC at the ERC, tells you what you need to know about PoC before you apply. We have two contributions from researchers who received PoC projects. One of them, Krishna Agarwal, has also received an EIC (European Innovation Council) Transition based on her original ERC grant.
The ERC Proof of Concept call opened in November 2024 and there will be two deadlines: 13. March and 18. September.
The webinar will be in English.
