Support Services of Team 74 - International Funding

We will be happy to support you with all aspects of your ERC grant application e.g. using the online EU portal, formal and administrative issues, budget calculation, and pre-checking your proposal regarding evaluation criteria. Please get in contact via the email address on the right. 

Please take note of our following deadlines:

6 weeks before proposal submission deadline:

Please contact us at least six weeks before the submission deadline in order to enable us to support you with all arising issues like formal and administrative details, ethics, open access, research data management, and budget calculation. Within this time frame we also offer a pre-submission check regarding the evaluation criteria.

If you contact us later, until one week before the submission deadline at the latest, we can give advise on formal issues only.

Support letter of the Deanery

Team 74 will prepare the necessary "Commitment of the Host Institution" (HI Letter) for the proposal. To be able to do that we will need to have a signed support letter by the Dean. You will find the template for this letter on the right. This letter has to be printed on the letter head of the Dean and be signed by the Dean and electronically send to team 74.
