ERC Portugal Pre Assessment Logo

The ERC-Portugal Pre-Assessment programme, launched in June of this year, continues to support ERC applicants who choose entities from the National Science and Technology System as host institutions. Please note that the deadline for submitting proposals to the ERC-PT Pre-Assessment programme, referring to the "ERC Consolidator Grant 2024" Call, is 12 October 2023, about 2 months before the deadline for submitting applications established by the ERC for this typology, set for 12 December 2023.

This procedure allows applicants who submit their proposals to the ERC-PT Pre-Assessment programme to receive the pre-evaluations and respective reports with recommendations for improvement about a month before the deadline for submitting their application to ERC-COG-2024. For more information, including a set of frequently asked questions, see the ERC-PT Pre-Assessment programme page.

A set of additional information is also presented, useful for all researchers who are preparing applications for the ERC Consolidator Grant 2024:

  • As recently announced, the ERC will organise a public session to present Calls for the 2024 work programme on 20 September, where candidates will be able to gather information on the new application procedures and evaluation criteria, including the new structure of CVs. The session will be broadcast on YouTube;
  • On 22 September, at 10 AM, FCT will organise a session to clarify doubts about the Calls of the 2024 ERC. Anyone interested should register here;
  • Since 12 September, applicants to the ERC-COG-2024 Call have been able to start preparing their proposals and access the respective documentation on the Funding and Tenders Portal. The application guide for this Call can also be consulted here.

FCT is the entity responsible for promoting national participation in the ERC and for creating the ERC-PT Pre-Assessment programme. Since the start of Horizon Europe in 2021, the framework programme for European research and innovation funding, research carried out in SNCT institutions has managed to attract around 78 million euros in European Research Council Calls.
