WANT TO SET UP A PROJECT WITH US?

The Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL) welcomes researchers to host their ERC Frontier Research Grant. 

The ERC is particularly keen to encourage excellent proposals from Principal Investigators based outside Europe who wish to carry out a project with a host institution in the EU or in one of the Associated Countries.

ERC grants are open to researchers of any nationality who may reside in any country in the world at the time of the application, and willing to spend at least 50% of their working time in an EU Member State or Associated Country during the course of the ERC project. Eligible “start-up” costs for Principal Investigators moving from a third country may be requested, and ERC grantee  remuneration can be drawn from the grant.
 

Why host an ERC project at the Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University?


You will benefit from a high-quality scientific environment, a dynamic academic community and a dynamic economic sector, in one of the most beautiful European cities.

 

The University provides assistance and technical support to researchers with their application and follow-up of their research projects. Researchers benefit from the following services relating to their ERC grant:

  • Information sessions on the ERC’s programme
  • Personalized support for grant writing
  • Administrative, financial and legal support for proposal preparation, grant agreement preparation and project management
  • Preparation sessions for interviews for Starting and Consolidator applicantsHelp-desk and advice during project implementation
  • Assistance with project reporting
  • Assistance with the settling in of the Principal Investigator and his/her family through the dedicated service Espace Ulys (http://www.espace-ulys.fr/en)
