The ERC Consolidator Grants support excellent researchers whose independent research group is in its consolidation phase. They are granted to researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD, a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal. They provide financing of up to 2 million euro.

Talented young researchers at the start of their independent careers are the target group for ERC Starting Grants. They are granted to scientists with 2-7 years of experience since completion of PhD who have already produced excellent supervised work, are ready to work independently and show potential to be a research leader. Up to 1.5 million euro can be awarded.

The applicants’ success rate in both competitions is estimated at under 15%.
