HORIZON EUROPE – ERC PROOF OF CONCEPT GRANT (ERC-2023-POC)
 
The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research, by funding further work (ie activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) to verify the innovation potential of ideas arising from ERC funded projects. Proof of Concept Grants are therefore on offer only to Principal Investigators whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.

The financial contribution will be awarded as a lump sum of EUR 150 for a period of 18 months. The ERC expects that, normally, proof of concept activities should be completed within 12 months. However, to allow for those projects that require more preparation time, the grant agreements will be signed for 18 months. Extensions of the duration of proof of concept projects may be granted only exceptionally. The lump sum will cover the beneficiaries' direct and indirect eligible costs for the project: if the project is implemented properly, the amounts will be paid regardless of the costs actually incurred. The lump sum has been designed to cover the beneficiaries' personnel costs, subcontracting, purchase costs, other cost categories, and indirect costs.

All Principal Investigators in an ongoing ERC main grant or in an ERC main grant that has ended less than 12 months before 1 January 2023, are eligible to apply for an ERC Proof of Concept Grant.

For further information please see the ERC Work Program 2023.

European Infoday of the COST program
May 24, 2023 | Registration
 
COST offers networking opportunities for researchers and innovators to strengthen Europe's capacity to address scientific, technological and social challenges. On May 24, COST is hosting an online INFODAY from 10 to 11:30. This session is open to all researchers and innovators at any stage of their career and from any field of research, especially COST supports young researchers, also the session is aimed at R&I management personnel. The objective is to inform our researchers and innovators on how to participate in COST Actions or propose a new COST network on any scientific-technological topic.

The session is taught in English.

IMI impact on clinical trials
May 25 (14:00 - 15:00) | Registration
 
This online event will showcase how the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) projects are delivering results that will improve how clinical trials are run.

Clinical trials are essential to demonstrate the benefits and risks of new interventions such as medicines and vaccines. However, conducting clinical trials can be challenging due to factors such as slow participant recruitment, low participant retention, limited availability of trained investigators and high quality clinical sites to run clinical trials, the burden of trial-related visits to the clinical site, high costs , limited generalisability of trial results to routine clinical practice, high costs, etc.

This event is an opportunity to feature some of the IMI project results that will contribute to the Accelerating Clinical Trials in the EU (ACT EU) initiative launched by the European Commission, the Heads of Medicines Agencies and the European Medicines Agency. 

The event is part of a series of live sessions that IHI is organizing on the impacts of IMI in different fields.

The session will focus on projects supported by the Innovative Medicines Initiative, a partnership between the European Union and the European pharmaceutical industry.
