ABOUT ERC FUNDING
ERC provides attractive, long-term funding to support investigators and their research teams in pursuing groundbreaking, high-gain, and high-risk research. This funding enables researchers to explore innovative ideas that push the boundaries of knowledge. The ERC frontier research grants are awarded on the basis of scientific excellence, ensuring that only the most promising projects are selected. Importantly, applications can be made in any field of research, allowing for a diverse range of ideas and approaches.
Independent researchers of any age and career stage, from anywhere in the world, are eligible to apply, which fosters a global, inclusive research environment. The funding supports investigators who are looking to set up or consolidate their own independent research team or programme. It also provides opportunities for already established research leaders to further advance their work.
The evaluation process for ERC grant applications is rigorous and conducted by peer review panels composed of renowned scientists and scholars selected by the ERC Scientific Council. These panels ensure that applications are thoroughly assessed for scientific merit. Additionally, the panels may be assisted by independent external experts who contribute their expertise remotely, further enhancing the evaluation process.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE WEBINAR?
Principal Investigators, Researchers, Research Group Leaders, and Research Managers and Administrators.
