[Agor] Evropski razpis

[David Movrin]

Pozdrave,

naletel sem na razpis, s katerim namerava EU v naslednjih letih financirati 
mlade raziskovalne skupine, prilagam ga spodaj. Po svoje je precej zahteven, 
ampak pri nas se je prav v tej starostni skupini v zadnjih letih nabralo 
dovolj ljudi, da se mogoce komu utrne kaksna dobra ideja; audaces fortuna 
iuvat.

Dear All,

The Scientific Council of the European Research Council (ERC) has set the 
guidelines for the future 'ERC Starting Independent Research Grants' for 
Young Scientists.

These grants are designed to support researchers at the stage at which they 
are starting their independent research or establishing their first research 
team. Applicants should be less than 10 years from the award of their PhD. 
The grant is open to investigators who are working (or intend to  work) in 
any part of the EU and associated countries.

'Starting Independent Research Grants' could consist of a grant between 
100,000 and 400,000 € per year over a period of 5 years.

The first call should be published either at the end of 2006 or the 
beginning of 2007 and will have an indicative budget of roughly 300 Mio. €. 
It can be expected that about 200 research teams could be funded in the 
first call.  Submission of proposals should follow a 2-step-procedure.

Evaluation criteria will be a blend of:

- the potential of the people and their track record, i.e. research 
excellence at PhD-level and subsequently, achievements, publication list, 
etc.

- excellence of the project, i.e. scientific value, innovativeness and 
feasibility of the objectives, methodology proposed, etc.
