ERC Grant schemes



Starting Grantsstarters (2-7 years after PhD)

consolidators (7-12 years after Phd) up to € 2.0 Mio for 5 years

Advanced Grants track-record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years

up to € 3.5 Mio for 5 years

Synergy Grants

2 – 4 Principal Investigatorsup to € 15.0 Mio for 6 years

Proof-of-Concept bridging gap between research - earliest

stage of marketable innovation up to €150,000 for ERC grant holders

ERC Grant schemes


ERC offers independence, recognition & visibility

• to work on a research topic of own choice , with a team of own choice

• to gain true financial autonomy for 5 years

• to negotiate with the host institution the best conditions of work

• to attract top team members (EU and non-EU) and collaborators

• to move with the grant to any place in Europe if necessary (portability of grants )

• to attract additional funding and gain recognition ; ERC is a quality label

│ 11

Creative freedom of the individual grantee


Flexibility : � Additional “start-up” funding for scientists moving to Europe

(EUR 500 000 for Starting and EUR 1 Million for Advanced grantees)

� Grantee can keep affiliation with home institute outside Europe (“significant part” of work time in Europe)

� Team members can be based outside Europe� Grantee can move within Europe with the grant

Negotiation:� Several European countries/host institutions assist applicants

and reward grantees with top-up funds or long-term professorships

Attractive featuresfor researchers from outside Europe

Dr. Kazufumi MOCHIZUKIGroup Leader at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (Austria)

ERC Starting Grant RNA directed DNA elimination in Tetrahymena

How can cells distinguish junk from precious DNA? Evidence suggests that small RNAs act as security guards to identify transposable elements. However, many remains unknown about how these small RNAs are produced, how they patrol the genome, and how they induce heterochromatin.

Dr. Kazuya KOYAMAReader in Cosmology at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, University of Portsmouth (UK)

ERC Starting Grant Modified Gravity as an Alternative to Dark Energy

The recent accelerated expansion of the universe originates fromdark energy or alternatively, by a large-distance modification to the general relativity. The project purpose is to construct consistent models for modified gravity and to develop efficient ways to combine observational data sets to distinguish between the two models.


ERC Grantees with Japanese nationalityProject examples (II)

The project objective is to explore low-temperature novel phenomena of heavy fermion systems. It will focus on:(1)new materials and high quality single crystals, (2)precise temperature-pressure-field phase diagrams, (3) quantum singularities and Fermiology, (4) the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity, (5) field-induced phenomena.

Many critical photo-chemical and photo-physical processes depend on an efficient light-matter interaction. The project aims to drastically increase the activities of (photo)catalysts, enabling their efficient operation under sunlight or even in weak room light conditions.

Submission to Panels

• Proposals are submitted to a Targeted Panel (of PI's choice)� Can flag one “Secondary Review Panel”

• Applicant chooses his/her panel , this panel is “responsible” and takes ownership for the evaluation of the particular proposal

• Switching proposals between panels not possible unless clear mistake on part of applicant, or due to the necessary expertise being available in a different panel

• Switching proposals between domains (deadlines) not possible at all.

• But: In case of cross-panel or cross-domain proposals, evaluation by members of other panels possible
