The call for proposals for the ERC’s ‘Consolidator Grant’ is now open.

Would you like to consolidate your independence by establishing a research team and continuing to develop a success career in Europe? Or have you recently created an independent, excellent research team and want to strengthen it? Then this call is for you!

The deadline for submission of your proposal is 12 January 2027.

Researchers of any nationality with 5-15 years of experience since completion of PhD, a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal can apply.

Applications can be made in any field of research. The ERC's grants operate on a 'bottom-up' basis without predetermined priorities.

Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution/HI). It could be the HI where the applicant already works, or any other HI located in one of the EU Member States or associated countries.

The SCIPROM team will be happy to guide and support you in the preparation of a compelling proposal for this call for proposals!
