With Consolidator@UNIPI the University of Pisa supports researchers in the submission of projects to the ERC Consolidator Grant 2025 call, expected to be published in September 2024 with a deadline in December 2024.
The recipients of the grant are researchers of any nationality who choose the University of Pisa as the host institution for their project proposal on the ERC-CoG 2025 call. It is not required to have an active contract with UNIPI.
The support will consist of a comprehensive and interactive review process on:
- CV and scientific profile of the PI;
- Project idea and its presentation
This support will be provided by a consulting agency selected by the University of Pisa in collaboration with the Research Promotion and Project Design Unit.
Submission Procedure
The application consists of two attachments:
- Letter of acknowledgment from the hosting Department (Attachment 1).
- CV of the PI + project idea (Attachment 2).
Candidates who have submitted a proposal in response to the ERC-CoG-2023 and ERC-CoG-2024 calls may replace Attachment 2 with Section B1 of the proposal itself.
