The European Commission has published its call for proposals for ERC Proof of Concept Grant, which is coming under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
Funded with EUR 10 million from the 2013 budget, the call aims to help grant holders establish proof of concept as well as identify a development path and an Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) strategy for ideas arising from an ERC funded project. The objective is to enable innovative ideas to be presented to venture capitalists, companies or social entrepreneurs in a pre-demonstration stage where potential opportunities for exploitation have already been identified.
