The ERC Consolidator Grant: An award for European Excellence

bourse ERC Consolidator Grant seeks to fund exploratory research projects on innovative themes over a five-year period, with a budget of approximately €2 million.

Designed for researchers with 7 to 12 years of experience post-doctorate, the grant supports promising scientists seeking to establish or strengthen their research teams.

With an exceptionally competitive selection process, the ERC Consolidator Grant recognizes outstanding projects on ambitious and high-risk research topics.
