Deadline: 27 August (AdG) & 2 September (PlusG)

Are you an established, leading principal investigator who wants long-term funding to pursue a ground-breaking, ambitious project? The ERC Advanced Grant could be for you. Advanced Grants may be awarded up to 2.5 M€ for five years.

The new funding scheme, ERC Plus Grants, is planned to support outstanding researchers from Europe and anywhere in the world with bold ideas and a vision for transformative research that goes beyond the scope of existing ERC programmes. 7 M€ will be awarded for a minimum of four years and up to seven years. Applicants should be aware that every year, only some 30 ERC Plus Grants can be awarded across all fields and all career stages, compared to approximately 1 000 of the other ERC Grants. This level of competitiveness should be taken into account when considering whether to submit an application.

Additional information in the EU Funding & Tender Portal (topic: ERC-2026-ADG and ERC-2026-PLUS).
