European Research Council grants
The European Research Council (ERC) supports innovative frontier research in various disciplines across Europe. ERC grants are among the largest and most prestigious individual research grants in the world. The European Research Council gives out five types of grants, open for the researchers of all disciplines, with research excellence being the only evaluation criterion.
- The ERC Starting Grant for researchers starting their career.
- The ERC Consolidator Grant for independent researchers to support their career development.
- The ERC Advanced Grant for leading researchers with a track record of significant research achievements in the past ten years.
- The ERC Synergy Grant for small teams of top-level researchers.
- The ERC Proof of Concept Grant for ERC grant holders to explore the innovation and marketing potential of the results of ERC-funded research.
