The First Pillar – Excellent science in Horizon Europe: ERC, MSCA and research infrastructures programmes
Horizon Europe is the next European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation for the 2021-2027 period.
The programme, with a view to evolving from the current Horizon 2020, aims to: strengthen the scientific and technological bases of the EU and the European Research Area, improve the innovative capacity, the competitiveness of the European industrial system and generate employment in Europe.
Pillar I, the pillar devoted to "Excellent Science", will include the European Research Council (ERC), Marie-Skłodwoska Curie Action (MSCA) and Research Infrastructures (INFRA) programmes.
The webinar, held in Italian by lecturers from the European Research Promotion Agency (APRE), will illustrate the various funding schemes of these three programmes. As to the ERC, the webinar will focus on the main elements that characterise a successful proposal.
The lecturers are Marco Ferraro (National Contact Point for the ERC and MSCA programmes in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe) and Daniele Gizzi (National Contact Point for Research Infrastructures in the Horizon2020 and Horizon Europe Programme).
