You want - or are still unsure – to submit an ERC, then contact the us!
Dear researchers, dear colleagues,
For many of you, getting scientific recognition and independence, but more importantly being able to secure a permanent academic position, means being the recipient of a program of excellence. ERC is such a program, but we all know of course that it is a highly competitive one and that the success rates are not extremely high, if not to say low…
But, if you are an ambitious postdoc with a great idea, then grab this opportunity.
The new Working Program 2026 is still not available, but deadline for ERC Starting should be around the middle of October 2025.
The Forschungsservice @ BOKU (FOS) is here to support candidates for such a call to be applied at BOKU.
FOS is currently running a program called Boosting ERC@BOKU. A framework of this program can be found here (after login). This program aims to support ERC candidates, from drafting their proposals, conducting proof reading, until preparing them for the hearing. And this is done together with the help of an experienced mentor. So, do not worry, you won´t be alone!
IMPORTANT: To be enrolled within this program, you have to contact us already NOW: projektsupport(at)boku.ac.at
The BOKU Pre-Award Team of the Research Support, Innovation & Technology Transfer assists researchers interested in submitting such projects. Please, contact us in advance if you wish to submit to this call and for any further questions: projektsupport(at)boku.ac.at
