The European Research Council (ERC) has announced 250 million (?223.4 million) worth of grants for a new funding scheme that allows up to four principal investigators on one project.
Synergy Grants, which were piloted in 2012 and 2013, are designed to make "unconventional collaborations" possible.
Calls for proposals open on 3 August, with a planned cut-off date of 14 November. They will be worth up to 10 million over six years, and 바카라사이트 ERC expects to award about 30 in total.
The ERC's president, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, said that 바카라사이트 grants had been "much anticipated".
"These grants can trigger unconventional collaborations, allow for 바카라사이트 emergence of new fields of study and help put scientists working in Europe at 바카라사이트 global forefront," he said in a statement. "By providing 250 million of funding for 바카라사이트 Synergy Grant call, 바카라사이트 ERC Scientific Council intends to make possible substantial advances at 바카라사이트 frontiers of knowledge which would be impossible for researchers working alone."
According to 바카라사이트 ERC, 바카라사이트 aim of 바카라사이트 scheme is to support "close collaborative interactions" that allow "transformative research, cross-fertilising disciplines and capable of yielding groundbreaking scientific results".
However, competition for 바카라사이트 new grants could be tough, even by 바카라사이트 standards of 바카라사이트 ERC, which has long been criticised for wasting grant applicants' time with low success rates.
When Synergy Grants were piloted in 2012 and 2013, 바카라사이트 annual success rates stood at 1.5 and 3 per cent respectively.?During this two-year, 바카라사이트 council had 150 million to spend each year, 60 per cent of what will be available in 2018.
