Canada-EU Research News

With the last call for Marie Curie International Fellowships now open, ERA-Can is actively preparing for the launch of Horizon 2020, the next version of the Framework Programme. It will run from January 2014 to December 2020 but the first calls will be issued this fall!

Horizon 2020 will address new research priorities in Europe but many of the specific programs and processes that Canadians have become familiar with in FP7 will continue. For example, Horizon 2020 will continue to issue annual calls for proposals for strategic large-scale multinational projects though they will now be focused on six major societal challenges. Similarly, Marie Curie Actions for mobility and advanced research training will continue though they will soon be called Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions.

1. Marie Curie International Fellowships

Final FP7 Call and First H2020 Calls

The calls for proposals for the 2013 Marie Curie International Fellowships were on March 14th. Proposals are due August 14th. International Outgoing Fellowships provide full funding for European post-doctoral fellows to spend 1-2 years working in a Canadian research institution. International Incoming Fellowships fund Canadian researchers work for 1-2 years in Europe. If you would like assistance in completing a proposal, please contact the ERA-Can secretariat.
There remains only one FP7 call, for research on the Future Internet, that will be published to the CORDIS website on June 28, 2013. Any researchers interested in responding, may wish to communicate with their European colleagues or contact ERA-Can for further information.

Note: the first Horizon 2020 calls will also focus on ICT research. They will be launched November 6-8, 2013, at a conference in Vilnius, Lithuania. For more information, please visit: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/ict-2013.
