ERC Advanced Grants

Are you an established, leading principal investigator who wants long-term funding to pursue a ground-breaking, ambitious project? The ERC Advanced Grant could be for you.

Who can apply?

Applicants for the ERC Advanced Grants - called Principal Investigators (PI) - are expected to be active researchers who have a track-record of significant research achievements.

Constructive Advanced Thinking (CAT)

The aim of the CAT initiative is to foster networks of excellent early-career researchers dedicated to devising new ideas to understand and to tackle current or emerging societal challenges. Although the programme has a strong focus on the societal relevance of the projects, it is entirely blue sky, bottom-up and non-thematic. CAT encourages a collaboration with stakeholders outside academia (industry, policymakers, NGOs…) who are willing to support or engage in innovative research initiatives.

Fondation des Treilles Research residencies

Each year, the Fondation des Treilles welcomes international researchers in individual or small group stays (with a maximum of 4 people) from one to three weeks.

During your stay, the foundation provides you with the best conditions you need to devote yourself entirely to the project for which you have been selected.
