The ERC Proof of Concept Grants (PoC) aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research. You may apply for a PoC if you are a Principal Investigator in a Starting, Consolidator, Advanced or Synergy Grant. 
 
Line Fredslund Volkers, call coordinator for PoC at the ERC, tells you what you need to know about PoC before you apply. We also have a contribution from a researcher who has received two PoC projects, what a TTO (Technology Transfer Organisation) can help with and finally some considerations about social innovation from the Faculty of Social Sciences at UiO. 

The 2023-call opens 20. October 2022 and there will be three deadlines: 24. January, 20. April and 14. September. 

The webinar will be in English.
