About the ERC

The European Research Council was created by the European Union in 2007 and is the main European organization funding excellence in research. Every year, it selects and funds the best and most creative researchers of any nationality and age to carry out projects based in Europe. The ERC offers four types of Studentships: Starting, Consolidator, Advanced, and Synergy Grants. It also offers the Studentship of Concept, which aims to bridge the gap that grant holders face between pioneering research and the initial stages of commercialization.
