About ERC

The European Research Council was created by the European Union in 2007 and is the main European funding organization for excellent 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 : Grants Starting, Consolidator, Advanced and Synergy. It also has the Studentship Proof of Concept, which aims to bridge the gap faced by grantees between pioneering research and the initial phases of its commercialization.
