Call for EUROCORES Themes 2009 - CLOSED

The ESF received 67 proposals in response to the 2009 EUROCORES Call for Theme proposals by the deadline of 29 May 2009.

EUROCORES Themes are "bottom-up" proposals for the creation of new collaborative research programmes dealing with broad and complex topics which are best addressed through multinational cooperation. Through its annual call for theme proposals, ESF solicits new ideas from the scientific community with a view to creating large-scale European Collaborative Research (EUROCORES) programmes in and across all scientific domains.

What is EUROCORES?

The EUROCORES Scheme enshrines ESF’s goals of enhancing synergy at a pan-European level by providing a framework to bring together national research funding organisations and supporting interdisciplinary research in non-traditional areas, thereby opening new horizons in science.

ESF oversees the process of selecting EUROCORES programmes from start-to-finish, including an international peer review panel, a ranking process and research dissemination activities.

EUROCORES programmes are broad and complex in nature, with topics selected through an open call for themes. Uniquely, EUROCORES networking activities bring together researchers who will eventually conduct their research at the bench together.

EUROCORES also features a complementary scheme in the social sciences called the “European Collaborative Research Projects” (ECRP) scheme, which has no thematic orientation to its annual Call for Proposals. Please click here for more information.
