The Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) would like to inform interested researchers that on 7^th of June 2024, 11:00 CEST, the European Research Council (ERC) will organize a webinar on lump sum funding for the ERC Advanced Grant 2024 Call, that will be streamed via the ERC channel on YouTube. Specifically, representatives from the ERC Executive Agency will answer relevant questions, which can be sent in advance to this email address: ERC-2024-ADG-APPLICANTS@ec.europa.eu. Useful information on the lump sum funding can also be found in a Q&A document published by ERC recently, while more general information on the 2024 ERC Calls were presented during a past webinar. It is also noted that the Information for Applicants document for the ERC Advanced Grant 2024 Call has just been published, while the Call is expected to open on 29 May 2024. ERC Advanced Grants fund already established scientists that are able to present high quality frontier research and important research achievements in their field. The sole evaluation criterion is scientific excellence. The funding can reach €2.5 million for up to 5 years, with the possibility for one additional million in specific cases.
