The European Commission Horizon 2020: Excellent Science European Research council invites proposals for its ERC-2019-SyG synergy grants. These enable two to four investigators and their teams to bring together complementary skills, knowledge, and resources in new ways, in order to jointly address ambitious research problems. The aim is to promote substantial advances at the frontiers of knowledge, to cross-fertilise scientific fields, and to encourage new productive lines of enquiry and new methods and techniques, including unconventional approaches and investigations at the interface between established disciplines.
Researchers based anywhere in the world, in any scientific field, may apply, but must intend to conduct their research in any EU member state, where they will spend a minimum of 50 per cent of their working time. A minimum of 30 per cent of their working time must be spent on the project. Groups must be formed of two to four researchers. Up to four host institutions can engage the principal investigators. Host institutions must be established in members states or associated countries as a legal entity under national law, or may be an international European interest organisation, the European Commission's joint research centre, or any other entity under EU law, including public and private entities, universities, research organisation and undertakings.
