The European Commission’s ERA-NET consortium of 16 countries has announced four opportunities that will be co-funded in Canada by either CIHR or NSERC. These opportunities are for collaborative projects between researchers at Canadian institutions and at two or more European countries participating in the network. For each of these opportunities, researchers in Canada will be required to submit a short summary of the proposal on either ResearchNet (CIHR’s electronic portal) or through a secure link to be provided by NSERC in the coming weeks. Full proposals will be submitted on the European portal by the European institution leading the proposal. More information will be published in ResearchNet in the coming month. Please contact Deborah Watt if you would like more information.
