Consolidator Grants

The ERC Consolidator Grant supports experienced junior researchers in building a research team and establishing an independent career. Each project sponsored receives up to 2 million euros for up to five years.

Starting Grants

ERC starting grants enable promising junior researchers to establish their own research units. Each project sponsored receives up to 1.5 million euros for up to five years.

Synergy Grant

Synergy Grants go to support teams of two to four outstanding researchers who can only successfully carry out their project in this grouping. The maximum funding amount is ten million euros over a period of six years.
