The ERC funds top researchers in Europe, of any nationality, helping them pursue great ideas at frontiers of knowledge.
About us
Set up in 2007 by the European Union, the European Research Council (ERC) aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age from anywhere in the world. As part of Horizon Europe, the EU programme for research and innovation for 2021 to 2027, the ERC has a total budget of over €16 billion. The ERC has an 'investigator-driven', 'bottom-up' approach, which allows researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities). On the sole basis of excellence, the ERC provides attractive long-term funding to individual top scientists and their teams to pursue ground-breaking research. The funded projects are expected to lead to scientific advances and to set clear and inspirational targets for frontier research across the world. By supporting the brightest minds, the ERC grants help to bring about new and unpredictable scientific and technological discoveries in Europe.

La bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive, maladie respiratoire chronique dont la prévalence ne cesse de croître, touche plus de 7 % de la population. Isabelle Dupin étudiera les capacités du poumon à s'adapter face à la pollution aux particules fines. « Cette maladie insidieuse commence par un léger essoufflement, une petite toux, puis s’aggrave progressivement. La plupart des patients ne sont pas identifiés ou trop tard. On sait que la BPCO est en lien direct avec les pollutions, le tabagisme certes, mais aussi la pollution de l’air. » Université de Bordeaux #BDPO #COPD #FrontierResearch #ERCCoG

Can you guess this country? 🤔 Some clues: It is the birthplace of famous scientists like Nikolaus Copernicus or Maria Skłodowska-Curie. It is known for its tasty pierogi. It is the largest pumpkin producer in the EU. It holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU until next June! #poland25eu

What’s in the ERC's external communication strategy for 2025? We’re going to continue emphasising the pivotal role of frontier research in enhancing the EU's competitiveness and addressing societal challenges. Our key objectives stay the same: 🎯 Advocating for frontier research: Highlighting its intrinsic value and its contributions to economic, environmental and policy advancements. 🎯 Informing researchers: Providing timely and reliable information about ERC funding opportunities to researchers in Europe and globally. 🎯 Promoting public engagement: Offering ERC grantees opportunities and incentives to share their work with the public. For a comprehensive overview of the context, goals and activities that we plan this year go to the official document. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGxbyJyQ

Starting with inanimate chemicals, researchers aim to produce metabolically active cells that grow, divide and show “Darwinian evolution” within six years. The “MiniLife” project could be the first in the world to reach the minimum criteria for a synthetic living system. It is funded by an ERC Synergy grant and involves biologists and chemists from several universities. Find out more at the Financial Times 👇 #FrontierResearch

As we wrap up the year, let’s reflect on where human culture 🤼 began. In the South African wilderness, Erica van de Waal at the Université de Lausanne is studying vervet monkeys 🐒 to uncover how they share knowledge and cultural behaviors - offering us a glimpse into the roots of our own complex culture. Ready to discover how animals shape the foundation of humanity? Watch 👇 #FrontierResearch #CulturalOrigins
