Detailed Call Description

The Host Organisation is the Cypriot Research Organisation, Enterprise or Other Organisation that would have been responsible for hosting the Researcher for the implementation of the Project in Cyprus, on the condition the proposals under the “ERC Starting Grant”, the “ERC Consolidator Grant” and the “ERC Advanced Grant” have received a final evaluation score ‘B’ or final evaluation score ‘A’ by the ERC during Step 2 of the ERC’s evaluation, but were not funded due to budget exhaustion (Fundable but not sufficient funds available).
