Issue 15

Dear Colleagues,

As you know, the new EURAXESS Portal brings new functionalities to

researchers, entrepreneurs, universities and businesses. Amongst them, you will

find a brand new Funding database allowing you to search for the funding

programme you need for your mobility or research cooperation project. Funding

organisations can publish their funding opportunities and scholarships in it to

increase their visibility and reach the best candidates worldwide.

We will continue publishing a compilation of open calls to fund researchers'

mobility and cooperation with European teams in the coming months to help you

identify these opportunities easily. Nevertheless, the frequency may be reduced.

This edition is valid for November and December.

The grants & fellowships listed below are funded by the European Commission,

EU Member States or Brazilian authorities.

We hope this list will help you turn your interest in research mobility into a reality

and stay at your disposal to discuss your project.

Your EURAXESS Brazil Team

EURAXESS Brazil Funding opportunities is a list of open calls to fund researchers’ mobility, compiled by the EURAXESS Brazil team.

The information contained in this publication is intended for personal use only. It should not be taken in any way to reflect the views of the European Commission nor of the Delegation of the European Union to Brazil.

Please email brazil@euraxess.net with any comments on this list, contributions you would like to make, if you think any other colleagues would be interested in receiving this document, or if you wish to unsubscribe.

1 European Union Horizon 2020 – Work programme 2018-2020 out

now!

The European Union’s Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020, including preliminary information on all calls to be launched until 2020 has now been published. SEE HERE FOR CALLS SPECIFICALLY OPEN TO BRAZIL.

Horizon 2020 is the EU funding programme for research and innovation running from 2014 to 2020 with a €80 billion budget. H2020 supports scientifically-excellent research, innovation, and technological development, through collaborative research projects as well as grants and fellowships to individuals. It is open to the world, so Brazilian researchers are very welcome to get involved.

Horizon 2020 offers a large variety of funding opportunities for research and innovation activities through calls for proposals that are set out in the Horizon 2020 work programme. Access all open calls on the Horizon 2020 Participant Portal.

The Brazilian National Council of State Funding Agencies (CONFAP) encourages the participation of Brazilian researchers under Horizon 2020 calls. Several FAPs (FAPESP, FAPESC, FAPEG, FAPEMIG, FAPDF, FAPES, Fundação Araucária, FUNDECT) expressed interest in funding researchers from their states to support their participation in H2020 calls and published guidelines with instructions to this end.

ERC Consolidator Grants

What are the ERC Consolidator Grants?

ERC Consolidator Grants are designed to support excellent Principal Investigators at the career stage at which they are consolidating their own independent research team. Up to €2.75 millions are available for projects of up to 5 years duration.

Who can apply?

Researchers of any nationality with 7-12 years experience since completion of PhD (Extensions are possible under certain circumstances — see the latest ERC Work Programme), a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal.

How much?

Consolidator Grants may be awarded up to € 2 million for a period of 5 years. (pro rata for projects of shorter duration). However, an additional € 0.75 million can be made available to cover eligible “start-up” costs for researchers moving from a third country to the EU or an associated country and/or the purchase of major equipment and/or access to large facilities.

An ERC grant can cover up to 100% of the total eligible direct costs of the research plus a contribution of 25% of the total eligible costs towards indirect costs.

EURAXESS BRAZIL

Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution/HI). It can be the HI where the applicant already works in Europe, or any other HI located in one of the EU Member States or associated countries

Important information on the call is included in the ERC Work Programme 2018 and especially in the call-specific Information for Applicants. The mandatory templates are available from the Participant Portal.

About the ERC:

Set up in 2007 by the EU, the European Research Council is the first pan-European funding organisation for frontier research. It aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age. The ERC also strives to attract top researchers from anywhere in the world to come to Europe. It funds young, early-career top researchers ('ERC Starting grants'), already independent excellent scientists ('ERC Consolidator Grants'), and senior research leaders ('ERC Advanced Grants').

Please, note that ERC grants support projects carried out by an individual researcher ('Principal Investigator') who can employ researchers of any nationality as team members. It is also possible to have one or more team members located in a non-European country.

Vacancies for team members interested in joining an ERC led research project, can be published on the Euraxess-Jobs portal.

ERC Proof of Concept Grant 2018

Additional ERC funding scheme for researchers of all nationalities who already got an ERC grant (Starting, Consolidator, Advanced or Synergy) which is either ongoing or where the project has ended less than 12 months before the publication date of an ERC Proof of Concept call.

1. European Training Networks (ETN)

Joint research training, implemented by at least three partners from in and outside academia. The aim is for the researcher to experience different sectors and develop their transferable skills by working on joint research projects.

-

Brazil and ERC:

To date, seven Brazilian

researchers have been

awarded ERC Starting and

Consolidator Grants.

They are (picture left to right - Click on the blue names to read their interviews):

- The leading mathematician Artur Avila for his "Quasiperiodic" project;
