The Excellent Science/Research pillar has four specific funding initatives, each of whic has been developed to enable talented and creative researchers (individuals and teams of researchers) to pursue their research interests. These funding instruments are;
- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
- Future and emerging technologies (FET)
- European Research Council (ERC) Grants
- European Research infrastructures (including e-infrastructures)

Future and Emerging Technologies
Future and Emerging Technologies
Future and Emerging Technology (FET) actions foster scientific collaboration across disciplines on radically new, high-risk ideas and accelerate development of the most promising emerging areas of science and technology as well as the Union-wide structuring of the corresponding scientific communities.
European Research Council (ERC) Grants
European Research Council (ERC) Grants
The ERC grants will provide funding to enable talented and creative individual researchers and their teams to pursue their research interests at the frontier of science.
European Research Infrastructures (including e-infrastructures)
European Research Infrastructures (including e-infrastructures)
European Research Infrastructures, including e-Infrastructures activities aim at developing the European research infrastructures for 2020 and beyond, fostering their innovation potential and human capital and reinforcing European research infrastructure policy.
