      \nHorizon Europe projects (2021 \u2013 2027)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Horizon Europe is the EU\u2019s key funding programme for research and innovation and the central component of Framework Programme 9 (FP9) which covers the 2021-2027 period. The programme aims to tackle climate change, help achieve the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU\u2019s competitiveness and growth. A total of \u20ac29.8 million has been awarded by the European Commission to the University of Luxembourg since the start of the programme in 2021, distributed across 73 projects including three ERC grants secured since 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Horizon 2020 (H2020) was the predecessor of Horizon Europe, covering the 2014-2020 period. Over this period, the University of Luxembourg secured 121 grants (a success rate of 16.7%) amounting to a total of \u20ac66.8 million awarded by the European Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \nEuropean Research Council (ERC) grants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        The ERC, set up by the European Union in 2007, is the premier European funding body for frontier research. It provides funding for creative researchers of any nationality and age to run projects based across Europe with the aim of encouraging the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and supporting investigator-driven frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence. The ERC offers five main grant schemes: Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants, Advanced Grants, Synergy Grants and Proof of Concept Grants. Since 2014, the University of Luxembourg has been awarded 20 ERC grants, including five under Horizon Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n

                  The University of Luxembourg\u2019s Rapid Incentive Scheme (RISE2.0) provides support to researchers to help them produce successful Horizon Europe applications. By offering a grant of up to \u20ac20,000, it maximises the quality of proposals submitted under all Horizon Europe programmes, especially ERC and MSCA candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Since 2014, the University of Luxembourg has been over 60 MSCA grants with a total EU contribution of \u20ac67.8 million for all beneficiaries, of which the University of Luxembourg has received \u20ac13.2 million.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

                  For EU funding:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  The University has a dedicated EU Support Team in the Research Support Department that assists researchers in identifying funding opportunities and preparing, submitting and managing EU grants. For further details on the full service package that is available to you please contact the EU Support Team in the Research Support Department<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  For high-profile grants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Candidates for high-profile grants are selected by means of a comprehensive, multi-level institutional validation procedure. Candidates are proposed by supporting professors and are interviewed by the corresponding department and the strategic alignment of the candidate\u2019s research field with the long-term development plan of the department\/faculty\/centre is assessed. If the peer evaluation is positive, the candidate, the supporting professor and the research support staff prepare the candidate\u2019s application for validation by the Rector. The Rector assesses applications in view of their quality, strategic fit with and impact on the University\u2019s long-term development plan, and gender equality. For further detailed information on the process and submission deadlines please contact the Research Support Department.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n
