ERC laureates

at the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE)

The European Research Council (ERC) awards grants to excellent researchers, thus stimulating groundbreaking research in Europe.

ERC Proof of Concept Grants: Help ERC laureates link their research to the market.
Lump Sum Grant of EUR 150.000
ERC Starting Grants: Support talented young researchers in setting up a research team and starting an independent research project.
Grants up to EUR 1.5 million for a period of five years
ERC Consolidator Grants: Meant for scientists who want to consolidate their independence by establishing a research team or who have recently created an independent, excellent research team and want to strengthen it.
Grants up to EUR 2 million for a period of five years
ERC Advanced Grants: Open to established academics of all nationalities and all ages. An ERC grant enables these researchers to start bold, groundbreaking research and thus open up new avenues in their field of study.
Grants up to EUR 2.5 million for a period of five years
ERC Synergy Grants: Enable interdisciplinary collaboration at the fundamental scientific level between multiple top researchers.
Grants up to EUR 10 million for a period of six years
