The US is currently ranked first in technology, innovation and R&D expenditures, and many European researchers and institutions have developed strong research links with US researchers and their institutions.  However, there is also a large number of European researchers and institutions, including many in Member States (MS), that have not established strong research partnerships with US counterparts.  In addition, a number of US research funding opportunities are open to researchers and institutions in MS. These are not necessarily well-publicized and in those cases in which they are k

The BILAT USA 2.0 session during OSM 2014 will highlight priorities and funding opportunities in the areas of marine and arctic research within HORIZON 2020, while facilitating connections and partnerships among international researchers, universities, industry and SMEs. Examples of future and ongoing transatlantic and national programs will be discussed. BLUE GROWTH OPEN CALLS in Horizon 2020, and the eligibility for U.S entities to receive EU funding, will be a key component of this session. Additionally, rules for participation by U.S.

Within the relatively short time of their existence, ERC grants have become internationally recognised as awards for scientific excellence, with research institutions increasingly competing for attracting ERC grantees. Researchers from anywhere in the world can apply for ERC grants, provided the research they undertake will be carried out in an EU Member State or Associated Country.  ERC projects can last up to five years and can cover „frontier research“ in any scientific domain, including social sciences, humanities and interdisciplinary studies.
