ERC-PT Pre-Assessment Program: Call ERC Consolidator Grant 2024
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.
