Projects are primarily identified through periodic calls for proposals, which typically occur in the fourth quarter of every year.

Exceptional funding is available outside the regular calls, however these applicants have a considerably lower chance of receiving funding. Projects funded in this phase are meant to demonstrate proof of concept: the unconventional, even risky approaches that have a promising potential for realization.

All are welcome to apply - please read more about the specific terms and topics within the call & guidelines for either ECP or GHR.
