What is the ERC club - "Le CERCle"? Logo CERCle

The European Research Council (or European Research Council, ERC) funds exploratory and risky research projects within the European Union. It is a "white science" program dedicated to research at the frontier of knowledge, whose sole selection criterion is scientific excellence.

On May 15, 2017, Aix-Marseille University and its partners, the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), the Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (INSERM), the Institut pour la recherche et le développement (IRD) and the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA), officially launched the CERCle, Club des ERC joined in 2018 by Ecole Centrale. Their ambition is to encourage a shared site policy to support applications from teacher-researchers and researchers to the European Research Council (ERC) program, a strong marker of scientific excellence.

Objectives:

  • Encourage (teacher-)researchers to apply to the ERC and create a dynamic.
  • To improve the visibility of the scientific excellence of the site, reinforcing its attractiveness.
  • Support the dynamics of the site to strengthen its position as a major European research cluster.

Activities :

  • To provide individualized coaching to all (teacher-)researchers submitting an ERC project with an Aix-Marseille research unit.
  • To lead a strategic reflection to reinforce the participation of the teams in the ERC.
  • Stimulate interactions between the teams of the site to participate in these programs.

Composition: The CERCle is composed of members attached to a research unit of the Aix-Marseille site and are :

  • Recipients of a European Research Council (ERC) contract, completed or in progress.
  • Current or former members of an ERC panel.

CERCle figures

  • 92 ERC projects on the site since the launch of the European Research Council (ERC) in 2007.
  • 11 ERC projects in the Horizon Europe program
  • 49 ERC projects in the Horizon 2020 program
  • 32 ERC projects in the FP7 program
  • 5 projects have benefited from an ERC Proof of Concept project in the H2020 program
  • 9 panel members are from the site

CERCle's activities are supervised by a European Steering Committee led by AMU, which includes the operational units of CNRS, INSERM, IRD, CEA, Centrale Innovation and Protisvalor, AMU's research and development subsidiary.
