The Instruct-ERIC Early Career Researcher (ECR) call offered additional access for researchers with 2-7 years of experience since completion of their PhD.
A new programme in 2024, the ECR call provided up to €5,000 in consumable funding, plus a travel and accommodation budget of up to €1,000. This allows ECRs the flexibility to make the best use of the access provided through Instruct.
Awardees are also eligible for up to three visits as part of their proposal, to further consolidate ties with their host laboratory. The full list of awardees of the first call is shown below:
