TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities) supports research activity that transcends disciplinary and institutional boundaries. The TORCH Network Scheme is designed to enable researchers from different disciplines to collaborate in creating multi- or interdisciplinary research networks around a topic or theme of their choice. TORCH facilitates the successful networks through administrative support, venues and room bookings, a web presence and publicity including social media.
Up to eight prizes will be awarded under this work programme of a value of EUR 10 000 each.
With the ERC Public Engagement with Research Award, the ERC wishes to reward outstanding science communicators among its Principal Investigators who successfully engage audiences outside their domain with ERC-funded research. The purpose of award is also to recognise good practice in science communication and to encourage more ERC grantees to develop public engagement activities.
Application deadline: 15 December 2025!
