In this section you may find information on National Schemes published by the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation (formerly know as the Research Promotion Foundation – RPF).
The Programme’s objective is to provide a second opportunity to entities and natural persons (researchers) who attempted to receive a grant under Horizon Europe Programme, and whose proposals despite of being of high quality did not manage to secure funding.
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).
Through the funded project, the Coordinator will have the opportunity to carry out research activities that will improve his/her proposal.
