The ERC has introduced a new pilot scheme, called Synergy Grants (SyG) in the 2012 ERC Work Programme. This call will be published on 25 October 2011 with a single deadline of 25 January 2012. The ERC Synergy Grants are aimed at outstanding researchers throughout Europe, who jointly work on an innovative research project. The group can consist of a minimum of two and a maximum of four Principal Investigators and the objective of the Synergy Grants is to foster interdisciplinary research. ERC Synergy Grants will be granted for a period of up to 6 years and comprise a maximum funding of 15 million EUR. Please note that in line with other ERC applications, the EC strongly recommends early registration and submission well in advance of the call deadline.
