ERC Grants are designed to empower individual researchers and teams at various stages of their careers to pursue ambitious, high-impact research. The 2025 Work Programme includes the following key funding schemes:

•    Starting Grants (StG) – For early-career researchers (2–7 years post-PhD) aiming to establish their own research team or programme.
•    Consolidator Grants (CoG) – For researchers with 7–12 years of experience post-PhD looking to strengthen their independent research career.
•    Advanced Grants (AdG) – For established research leaders with a significant track record of research achievements.
•    Synergy Grants (SyG) – For 2–4 principal investigators collaborating on ambitious, interdisciplinary projects.
•    Proof of Concept Grants (PoC) – For current ERC grantees exploring the commercial or societal potential of their research.

Whether you're at the beginning of your research journey or leading a well-established team, ERC funding can be a transformative opportunity to elevate your work on a global stage.
