Programmes

The European Research Council Proof of Concept Grants (PoC) aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research and are therefore available only to ERC Principal Investigators (PIs) whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.

European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition aims to validate and demonstrate technology in an application relevant environment and develop market readiness. It supports both the maturation and validation of technologies from lab to real environment. EIC Transition proposals must build on the results from

  • EIC Pathfinder projects (including projects funded under EIC pilot Pathfinder, Horizon 2020 FET-Open, FET-Proactive and FET Flagships calls)
  • European Defence Fund (EDF), including the Preparatory Action on Defence Research, research projects, but only for proposals which are exclusively focused on civil applications (including dual use)
  • ERC Proof of Concept projects
  • All projects funded under Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe calls (for Transition Challenges only)

The webinar will present both funding schemes.
