            The Primus competition is intended to enable selected young researchers to develop their o

            research programme and to offer an internationally comparable environment for the scientif
            career researchers and master’s and doctoral students. Its motivation is based on the prin
            the activities of the European Research Council (ERC).


            Project implementation should guide the principal investigator towards subsequently applyi
            international individual grants, in particular ERC grants.


            The European Research Council (ERC) supports outstanding scientists with the aim of advanc

            research and opening new interdisciplinary fields of knowledge.
            The ERC does not support networks or international consortia, but individual Principal Inv
            (PIs) and their research teams. The sole evaluation criterion is scientific excellence — b

            project and of the applicant. This includes previous achievements in the field as well as 
            for a genuinely novel, groundbreaking idea that is not merely a continuation of earlier wo
            the potential to significantly influence the discipline, push its boundaries, or open new 

            perspectives.
