UKRI has updated the guidance for its Horizon Europe Guarantee, including call opening and closure dates.
Included in the update, is confirmation that the ERC Consolidator 2022 grant call opened on 7 February and the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2022 will open on 28 February 2023. Applicants are reminded that the Je-S system will close for the ‘Citizens 2021’ grants on 1 March and the ERC Starting, Consolidator and Advanced 2021 grants calls will be closing on 30 March 2023.
The guidance explains that grants hosted on IFS now have two sets of ‘Terms and Conditions’ depending upon the signature date or deadline of the Horizon Europe call. As such, applicants are advised to check which set of criteria applies to their specific project.
Finally, the ‘Q&A’ session has also been updated to reflect these changes and to reiterate that the application system usually only remains open for one calendar year.
Further information about the Horizon Europe Guarantee is available on a dedicated UKRI website.
