FLAG-ERA Joint Transnational Call (JTC) 2015

FLAG-ERA stands for ‘Flagship ERA-NET’ and gathers National and Regional Funding Organisations (NRFOs) in Europe and beyond with the goal of supporting, together with the European Commission (EC), the FET Flagship initiatives, i.e., the Graphene Flagship and the Human Brain Project (HBP) Flagship. One of its main aims is to allow researchers to complement the current Flagship projects and to collaborate towards the achievement of their vision through the use of existing or dedicated transnational, national and regional calls. In particular, FLAG-ERA aims at launching dedicated joint transnational calls (JTCs) allowing researchers from several countries to jointly contribute to the Flagship goals.

The JTC will be conducted simultaneously by these NRFOs and coordinated centrally by the Joint Call Secretariat (JCS).

Proposals are submitted by international consortia with partners (research groups) in multiple countries.

The FLAG-ERA JTC is a hybrid funding instrument. The proposal evaluation and selection are international. Funding is then provided by participating funding organisations directly to the selected consortium partners.

It is designed to expand the current Flagships to new researchers while also supporting researchers already in the Flagships. Investigators based at universities, research institutions, SMEs and larger enterprises are invited to team up with their peers abroad to submit proposals in the area of the Flagships.

Submission Deadline: January 27th 2015.
