The ERC is amongst the most prestigious and competitive EU funding schemes to support frontier research, providing researchers with the opportunity to pursue ambitious, curiosity-driven projects that could lead to major scientific breakthroughs. 

ERC Advanced Grants award funding of up to €2.5 million for a period of 5 years to established, leading researchers with a proven track-record of significant research achievements over the past decade. This funding enables researchers to explore their most innovative and ambitious ideas.

ERC Consolidator Grants award funding of up to €2 million for a period of 5 years to researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD, with a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal.  This funding enables researchers to consolidate their independence by establishing / consolidating a research team and continuing to develop a successful career in Europe.

ERC Starter Grants award funding of up to €1.5 million for a period of 5 years to researchers with 2-7 years of experience since completion of PhD, who have a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal.

Proof-of-Concept awards provide a lump sum of €150,000 for a period of 18 months to researchers who already have an ERC award, to establish proof of concept of an idea that was generated during their ERC-funded projects.
