DG Research is now accepting applications for its prestigious European
Research Awards recognising international cooperation and science
communication. With prize money totalling €1.7 million, the European
Research Awards, which began in 2000, are comprised of two individual
prizes, the Descartes Prizes for Trans-national Collaborative Research,
and the Prizes for Science Communication. Applicants have until 17 July to
submit their bid for a chance at an award representing one of the EU's
top policy goals: scientific excellence.
The Descartes Prize for Trans-national Research will be awarded to up
to four teams of researchers whose work has produced particularly
significant results in key thematic areas. Projects eligible for the prize can come
from any scientific discipline, including economics, social science and the
humanities. At least one participant from the project must be from a
Member State though the research itself doesn't necessarily have to be
EU-funded.
Winning entries will be selected by a Grand Jury chaired by former
French Minister for Research and astronaut Claudie Haigneré. The Grand Jury
will also determine the number of prizes awarded. This year only online
submissions are being accepted.
