FCT and ANI promote session dedicated to the European Research and Innovation Councils (ERC and EIC)

Continuing the various initiatives carried out jointly within the PERIN network, FCT and ANI are promoting a session dedicated to the European Research Council (ERC) and European Innovation Council (EIC) programs of Horizon Europe. The online session will take place on June 7, between 9:30 am and 11 am.

The topic of the event will be “Opportunities to fund R&D projects with scientific research components par excellence”. The potential synergies to be established between the two programs will be addressed, as well as what distinguishes them, clarifying candidates’ doubts and preparing them to prepare successful proposals.

The ERC and EIC are Horizon Europe programmes that aim to fund R&D projects with scientific research components. The ERC falls under Pillar I – Excellence in Science of Horizon Europe, and the EIC under Pillar II – Innovative Europe. Both focus on research projects aiming to achieve scientific breakthroughs and emerging and disruptive technological solutions. This session will be an opportunity to explore the synergies and differences between the two, so that applicants can use the various funding opportunities as well as plan a medium/long-term technological leverage path.
