Pre-Call announcement: next call for ERC Consolidator Grants due summer 2018
European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grants are designed to support researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD.
Eligiblity
- Applications can be made in any field of research
- The ERC's grants operate on a 'bottom-up' basis without predetermined priorities.
Location
- Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution/HI). It could be the HI where the applicant already works, or any other HI located in one of the EU Member States (see also eligibility of UK legal entities) or Associated Countries.
Level of funding
Consolidator Grants may be awarded up to € 2 million for a period of 5 years. (pro rata for projects of shorter duration). However, an additional € 0.75 million can be made available to cover eligible “start-up” costs for researchers moving from a third country to the EU or an associated country and/or the purchase of major equipment and/or access to large facilities.
An ERC grant can cover up to 100% of the total eligible direct costs of the research plus a contribution of 25% of the total eligible costs towards indirect costs.
Please consult the ERC website for further details and announcements.
