Grants

This grant aims to support the transformation of food systems in African cities to deliver co-benefits for climate, environmental sustainability, dietary shifts, healthy nutrition, food poverty reduction, and thriving businesses. It aligns with the European Green Deal priorities, the farm-to-fork strategy, and the EU-Africa partnership goals.

This grant aims to foster sustainable, balanced, and inclusive development of rural areas by supporting digital, social, and community-led innovations. It equips rural communities with innovative solutions to increase access to services, opportunities, and innovation ecosystems, while addressing environmental and social challenges. The grant contributes to achieving climate neutrality by 2050, resilience, and long-term well-being for rural communities.

This grant aims to identify one or more organisations capable of providing data management and analysis expertise to improve methods for the collection, management, and analysis of scientific data from Member State competent authorities to EFSA. Only competent organisations, based on designations by Member States, are eligible to apply.

This call for proposals aims at identifying one or more organisations to which tasks falling within the mission of the Integrated Data unit can be entrusted by EFSA. The main objective is to provide data management and analysis expertise to improve methods for collection, management and analysis of scientific data from Member State competent authorities to EFSA.

The Starting Grant supports excellent Principal Investigators starting or having recently started their own independent research team or programme. It aims to fund groundbreaking research projects led by researchers with demonstrated potential for research independence.

The ERC Synergy Grants aim to provide support for a small group of two to four Principal Investigators to jointly address ambitious research problems that could not be addressed by the individual Principal Investigators and their teams working alone. The transformative research funded by Synergy Grants should have the potential of becoming a benchmark on a global scale.

Support for professional associations and sector-based organizations to promote the internationalization of Estonian companies in target markets, develop business strategies, and organize marketing and trade fair activities.

The grant aims to create a sustainable accelerator open to all European stakeholders, providing access to state-of-the-art sSOI technology and manufacturing capabilities. It focuses on developing and standardizing Process Design Kits (PDKs) for next-generation applications, expanding industrial-scale wafer production, driving intellectual property creation, and strengthening Europe's production capacity in semiconductor technologies.

Successful proposals are expected to deliver AI chip prototypes reaching TRL 6-7, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as non-volatile memories, neuromorphic computing, 3D heterogeneous integration, and photonic connectivity. These prototypes should be tested under real-world conditions and show potential for industrial scaling. The project emphasizes leveraging advanced capabilities of state-of-the-art infrastructures within the Union, including the Testing and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for Edge AI hardware and Pilot Lines of the Chips for Europe Initiative. The prototypes must demonstrate robust AI capabilities, ultra-low power consumption, and contribute to Europe’s digital transformation and sustainability goals.
