The Malta Council for Science and Technology is managing the ERC Support Scheme. The Scheme aims to strengthen the opportunities for talented researchers to obtain grants from the European Research Council (ERC) for excellent and ground-breaking research based on researchers’ own ideas within all areas of research. The Scheme is divided into two options:
Option A: Mentoring initiative
The mentoring initiative will support potential ERC applicants by helping to identify international experts to provide coaching and advice.
Option B: Proposal writing trainings
The objective of this activity is to raise the capabilities of potential ERC candidates to prepare successful ERC grant applications through attending ERC proposal writing training (online or physical).
The call was closed on Friday, 20th August 2021. A second call will open in the last quarter of 2021.
