    Call identifier: ERC-2017-AdG

    ERC Advanced Grant Principal Investigators are expected to be active researchers and to have a track record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years which must be presented in the application. There is little prospect of an application succeeding in the absence of such a record, which identifies investigators as exceptional leaders in terms of originality and significance of their research contributions.

    More information in the ERC Work Programme 2017 (pp. 25-28 on AdG)
