European Research Council ERC Grants
The European Research Council (ERC) is dedicated to funding top-level research in Europe. The Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant, Advanced Grant and Synergy Grant funding options are available to scientists from all disciplines throughout their careers. In addition, the ERC supports particularly innovative research projects in the testing phase with its Proof of Concept Grants.
