Exception: ERC applicants and main host institution contacts are informed via the ERC Feedback to Applicants site and are also alerted by e-mails. The subsequent invitation to grant preparation will be found on the Funding & Tenders Portal. Who is notified about the results? All contact persons identified in the proposal will receive an e-mail (to the e-mail address linked to the person's EU Login).
