Grants Office Newsletter October 2019
With this sixth edition of our newsletter, we inform you about the state of play of Horizon Europe, the successor program of Horizon 2020. We also inform about the internal process for Ambizione and PRIMA applications, about the SNSF Roadshow here in Basel and about the upcoming ERC deadlines.
Horizon Europe
In our last newsletter we informed you about the final calls under Horizon 2020. But how will it go on? What is going to change with the successor program “Horizon Europe”, and what status does Switzerland have? We have summarized the most important facts for you.
ERC: Last Calls under Horizon 2020
The European Research Council has published its “2020 work programme” with details about the estimated budget and upcoming Calls for the next 12 months. We have summarized these calls for you – and provide you with some details on ERC’s at the University of Basel.
Note that the Grants Office is considering organizing an applicants training for ERC Consolidator by external experts. Please let us know if you are interested.

SNSF Ambizione / Prima: Deadline November 1st 2019
The next SNSF Ambizione and PRIMA deadline is on November 1st 2019. Please note that the SNSF requires a detailed letter of support from the Department and a confirmation from the Rectorate. A template for the department letter is available in the Grants Tool (Ambizione / PRIMA, Information). The Grants Tool will also help applicants to calculate their budgets.
