The objective is to provide funds to enable ERC-funded ideas to be brought to a pre-demonstration stage where potential opportunities for exploitation have been identified. PoC funding (up to 150 000 € for 12 months) aims to help ERC grant-holders bridge the gap between their research and the earliest stage of an innovation where a potentially commercial or socially valuable concept needs validation in order to attract the capital necessary for its continued development.
