(ERC) grants are the most prestigious grants in European Research.
ERC grants fund 'blue-sky' research or leading edge research across all academic fields.
Four core grant schemes are offered: ; ; and .
While with its additional scheme, the ERC helps grantees to explore the innovation potential of their ideas or research results.
Please contact our EU Research Team if you are looking to apply for an ERC grant in UL.
