UniTrento Internal Call for Research 2023

As part of the University's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, UniTrento promoted the Internal Call for Research 2023 for projects in the three ERC sectors of Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities.

ERC Call - Seal of Excellence

The ERC Seal of Excellence call is dedicated to researchers who have obtained the maximum score (A and shortlisted) in the second step of the evaluation process for ERC Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant or Advanced Grant, with UniTrento as the Host Institution, who however were not awarded a grant for lack of funding.

The 18-month funding allows researchers to start or continue the research activity, in view of a new application for the ERC call.

MSCA PF Call - Seal of Excellence

With the MSCA PF - Seal of Excellence call, UniTrento supports the projects that have received the Seal of Excellence (SoE) in Marie Skłodowska Curie Action - Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) calls and were placed on the reserve list or received a score below the pay line for their panel. The Seal of Excellence is awarded by the European Commission to MSCA - PF proposals with a score greater than or equal to the admission threshold (85/100) which, however, are not eligible for funding due to budget limitations.

Call MSCA+1

Since 2020, UniTrento has been offering its researchers the opportunity to extend the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) funding for one year. The researchers who have obtained a positive evaluation from their department or center can then continue their research activity for another 12 months with the aim of proposing an ERC project with the University of Trento as the Host Institution.

Internal Call: Starting Grant for young researchers

The call encourages the participation of young UniTrento researchers (as PI, scientific coordinator or holder of a research grant or contract) in competitive research calls at Italian, European or international level.
