EU Boost programmes

With our “EU Boost” programmes, we support exceptional researchers in their efforts to apply for ERC grants and participate in large-scale EU-funded research projects.

There are several advice offices at the University of Münster that specialise in matters related to EU-funded research and educational projects.

“Start-up EU” supports academics involved in EU-funded research projects. Researchers can apply for start-up funding to prepare for University-coordinated EU consortium applications, as well as project applications to MSCA consortia. The aim of start-up funding (pre-award) is to offer applicants the best-possible conditions for drafting high-quality funding proposals. Successful coordinators of EU projects are eligible for additional grants (post-awards).

The EU Mentoring Network is an advice and support programme offered by the University of Münster to help early-career researchers learn how to take advantage of the many effective EU funding instruments at their disposal (e.g. the ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants).
