European Research Council (ERC) grants
The mission of the European Research Council (ERC) is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through funding and to support research across all fields, on the basis of scientific excellence.
The ERC supports researchers to identify new opportunities and directions in any field of research. By supporting researchers to think 'bottom-up' the ERC is funding projects in new and promising areas of research with more flexibility.
Aiming to recognize the best ideas and to honor the best researchers in Europe and give them more visibility, the ERC is also attracting talent from abroad. By providing an open competition with a bottom-up approach ERC aims to engage with interesting research projects of scientific excellence.
