Each year, the European Science Foundation (ESF) announces a series of calls for proposals which will give the opportunity to propose collaborative research projects and networking activities with a European dimension.
The calls span all fields of science through four main funding instruments, covering all types of scientific activities, from basic research and frontier science to networking and dissemination. Information about submitting proposals can be found below:
Exploratory Workshops

- ESF Research Conferences
Call for proposals aimed at events to be held in 2014, is now open. Deadline is on the 15th of September 2012.

The ESF does not award grants to students or individual researchers outside its designated funding instruments and related activities.
