EUROCORES

EUROCORES stands for ‘ESF European Collaborative Research Scheme´, a grant scheme managed by the European Science Foundation (ESF). The ESF has 78 members organisations from 30 different countries: academies, research organisations and research funding agencies, including NWO.
The ESF uses the EUROCORES Scheme to develop and support Europe-wide collaboration and synergy in and across all scientific areas. The Scheme provides a flexible framework for national basic research funding organizations to join forces to support top class European research.

Subjects for EUROCORES can be submitted to the ESF by researchers themselves, by members, by ESF Standing Committees or by Expert Groups. The ESF works up a potential EUROCORE and puts this before the member organisations. As soon as the proposal is approved by at least 4 organisations from 4 different countries the ESF launches a Call for proposals aimed at researchers.
