European Research Council: Supporting top researcher from anywhere in the world! 

The ERC's mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, on the basis of scientific excellence.

 

The ERC complements other funding activities in Europe such as those of the national research funding agencies, and is a flagship component of Horizon Europe, the European Union's Research Framework Programme for 2021 to 2027.

Being 'investigator-driven', or 'bottom-up', in nature, the ERC approach allows researchers to identify new opportunities and directions in any field of research, rather than being led by priorities set by politicians. This ensures that funds are channelled into new and promising areas of research with a greater degree of flexibility.

ERC grants are awarded through open competition to projects headed by starting and established researchers, irrespective of their origins, who are working or moving to work in Europe. The sole criterion for selection is scientific excellence.

ERC in a nutshell

The ERC aims to:

  • Support the best of the best in Europe across all fields of science, scholarship and engineering
  • Promote wholly investigator-driven, or 'bottom-up' frontier research
  • Encourage the work of the established and next generation of independent top research leaders in Europe
  • Reward innovative proposals by placing emphasis on the quality of the idea rather than the research area
  • Raise the status and visibility of European frontier research and the very best researchers of today and tomorrow

Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions

 

 

Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA)

Part of Horizon Europe, the MSCA are the European Union’s flagship funding programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training of researchers.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fund excellent research and innovation and equip researchers at all stages of their career with new knowledge and skills, through mobility across borders and exposure to different sectors and disciplines. The MSCA help build Europe’s capacity for research and innovation by investing in the long-term careers of excellent researchers.

The MSCA also fund the development of excellent doctoral and postdoctoral training programmes and collaborative research projects worldwide. By doing so, they achieve a structuring impact on higher education institutions, research centres and non-academic organisations.

The MSCA promote excellence and set standards for high-quality researcher education and training in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the recruitment of researchers.https://marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu

EU Delegation and EU’s Research and Innovation in India

Cooperation on research and innovation with India is governed by the Agreement for Scientific and Technological Cooperation signed in 2001. It was renewed for the third time on 17 May 2020, for a further 5 years.

Implementing the agreement is overseen by a Joint Steering Committee co-chaired by the Director General of DG Research and Innovation, European Commission and the Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.

In line with the EU Strategy on international cooperation on research and innovation called Europe’s Global Approach, the EU is open to more cooperation with India, a like-minded country respecting fundamental values such as academic freedom, gender equality, research integrity and ethics, open science and the rule of law.

EU-India partnership roadmap

At the EU-India Summit on 15 July 2020, the EU-India Strategic Partnership: A Roadmap to 2025was adopted. The roadmap guides the EU and India on joint actions and further strengthening the EU-India Strategic Partnership over the next 5 years.

The roadmap contains many research and innovation actions underpinning overall policy objectives, notably on combatting Covid-19, supporting India’s modernisation process, the green transition and human-centric digitalisation. In addition, the roadmap mentions the importance of engaging with India on social sciences and humanities, the desire to increase two-way mobility of students and researchers and to consider gender equality in science.

Both sides also agreed to enhance cooperation on innovation and technology deployment by tapping into each other’s innovation ecosystem, as established under the Europe-India Innovation Partnership (EIIP). For this, the EU supports the Horizon 2020 project EU-India InnoCentre.

Areas of mutual interest

At the Science and Technology Joint Steering Committee meeting on 12 February 2021, the following areas and research topics of interest to India were mentioned:

  • health (early treatment of cancers, mental health)
  • circular economy (waste-to-energy, plastic litter)
  • electrical vehicles
  • ICT (cyber-physical-systems, artificial intelligence and robotics)
  • agriculture (post-harvest technologies, agri-food, vaccines against major livestock diseases)
  • earth sciences

During the EU-India Leaders’ Meeting on 8 May 2021, both sides committed to step-up cooperation on research and innovation in areas of mutual interest, in particular on the green transition, digital agenda and global health challenges

The EU-India Connectivity Partnership adopted on 8 May 2021, encourages both India and the EU to increase the two-way mobility of students and researchers under the People-to-People building block of the Connectivity Strategy with India.

The EU strategy on Cooperation with the Indo-Pacific Region confirms the principle of engaging with India on research and innovation as set out in the Global Approach.

Funding opportunities

Horizon Europe is the biggest EU research and innovation programme with nearly €95.5 billion of funding available over 7 years (2021 to 2027).

Horizon Europe is open to the world, which means that participants from all over the globe can participate in most calls.

For the funding of collaborative research (Pillar II of Horizon Europe), participants from India, just like participants from industrialised countries and the other emerging economies (the so-called BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China), are not automatically eligible for funding under Horizon Europe.

Entities have therefore to bring their own funding, or the Government of India can co-fund successful Indian entities in Horizon Europe projects. For this purpose a so-called Co-Funding Mechanism needs to be established, which is currently not the case.
