Great news! The EC has fully activated the transitional arrangement as of 1 January 2025, which enables researchers and innovators in Switzerland to participate in almost all calls for proposals of Horizon Europe and the Euratom programme as beneficiaries, from the 2025 programme year onwards. This means also that they can submit project proposals in the role of coordinator. Switzerland's participation in calls for proposals in areas considered strategic by the EU (including quantum and space) are still subject of discussions with the EC. Running applications or projects are not impacted by this. The latest news and information can be found at the dedicated SERI page: https://lnkd.in/eNcwbjJX

The European Research Council (ERC) announced today that researchers in Switzerland can participate in the ERC Proof of Concept call 2025: https://lnkd.in/edr_bsSx. The transitional arrangements allow Swiss legal entities to be treated as ‘entities established in associated countries’ for the call for Proof of Concept Grants under the ERC Work Programme 2025. SERI has updated their information accordingly: https://lnkd.in/e2MU_BBf. The call is expected to open tomorrow, 13 November 2024.

Nice:-)

Interesting event upcoming!

IHI has a good habit of publishing drafts of future funding opportunities ahead of the call launch to give applicants extra time to start networking and preparing a proposal. Now draft texts of IHI calls 9 and 10 have been published on the IHI website https://lnkd.in/gCrHQ-E8. Both calls are scheduled for launch in early 2025. While call 9 is a single-stage, applicant driven call addressing the IHI Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, call 10 is a standard two-stage call with topics on Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), secondary use of health data and digital labelling. SCIPROM invites you to explore the different call topics and will be happy to support you from the project idea to the elaboration of the proposal and the implementation of the project in all aspects of management, communication and dissemination of the project.

The ERC Consolidator Grant 2025 call is now open: https://lnkd.in/diPQwTE4 SCIPROM will be happy to accompany you in the preparation of your proposal and beyond! Researchers based in Switzerland are eligible to apply for this grant which targets  researchers who are 7-12 years post-PhD and would like to consolidate their academic career and establish a research team. The maximum budget is €2 million and the deadline for proposal submission is 14 January 2025. 

Thank you to the ARRONAX Team for the organisation of a great 1st day of our 7th consortium meeting, a very busy day that ended in a lovely restaurant in Nantes
