The ERC StG scheme aims to support promising early career researchers, 2-7 years post PhD (extension possible under certain conditions) who already have an excellent track record and important publications. The ERC StG will provide funding of up to 1.5 million Euros for up to 5 years and will support the Principal Investigator to build their own independent research team.

The ERC CoG scheme is open to excellent researchers 7-12 years post PhD (extension possible under certain conditions) who can already demonstrate independent research work and leadership, in addition to important publications. The ERC Consolidator Grant will provide a maximum of 2 million EUR for up to 5 years and should support the PI in the strengthening of an already existing research group.

The workshop will provide information on both funding schemes. In addition to contributions from the Research Services, Dr Ylva Huber from our national contact point FFG will provide information on the funding schemes as well as information available on the 2025 work programme.

The work programme will open in July 2024. Information on ERC StG and CoG can be found following the link below.
