Anja Hegen of the Division of research administration has sent information on the two ERC calls that were published this summer::

• ERC Starting Grants 2018- deadline 17.10.2017 (PIs 2-7 years after PHD)
• ERC Synergy Grants 2018- deadline 14.11.2017 (a group of 2-4 PIs)

She also sent relevant documents and templates, see below.  Even if you should not be ready to apply this year, it may be very useful to familiarize yourself with the concept and requirements to start preparing for a possible application in the next few years.
