Conditions
Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.
- Other condition
- 2026 JTC call opened 8 September 2026; preproposal deadline is 10 November 2026 at 15:00 CET; full proposal deadline is 6 April 2027 at 15:00 CEST.
- Other condition
- ECR mode requires the Consortium Coordinator PI to have a PhD obtained less than 10 years before call launch, subject to FPO-calculated exemptions; the other PIs need not be ECRs. The call page says PhD after 8 Sep 2016, while the PDF’s coordinator section also says after 12 Sep 2016, an internal inconsistency requiring resolution.
- Other condition
- Each funded project must nominate at least one expert as project ambassador for Knowledge Hub work and allocate at least two person-months to that work.
Amounts and costs
- Indicative budget
- €34,488,619
Topic budget as stated in the portal's budget table. Lump-sum and per-project limits are in the call conditions.
- Eligible cost
- For Polish NCBR-funded JTC regular-modality partners only (NCBR does not fund the ECR modality), eligible costs include personnel costs for research organisations and enterprises. Polish research organisations may receive up to 100% funding; enterprise rates depend on size and research type. This is conditional on Polish applicant participation, not a general rule for other countries.
