EUROPE’S AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING RESEARCHERS

The funding programs of the European Research Council (ERC) offer excellent opportunities for cutting-edge scientific research in all scientific fields. The ERC funds basic and visionary research in particular. Scientific excellence is the decisive criterion. With a project budget of 1.5-2.5 million euros and a duration of up to 5 years, ERC grants represent attractive funding and at the same time an award for researchers.

• The ERC Advanced Grant is aimed at proven scientists who have distinguished themselves through an outstanding scientific curriculum vitae.
• The ERC Consolidator Grants support promising scientists and researchers whose own independent research group is in the consolidation phase.
• The aim of the ERC Starting Grant is to support the scientific independence of young researchers by establishing their own research team.
• The top class, Synergy Grants, enables visionary collaborations between 2-4 excellent researchers and their teams over 6 years and 10 million euros
