ERC Consolidator Grant

The ERC Consolidator Grant supports researchers at a decisive stage in their career, where emerging independence develops into established research leadership. It targets applicants who have already built a strong early track record and are now ready to consolidate their scientific profile, expand their research programme, and take full ownership of a sustained and impactful line of inquiry. Successful researchers secure significant European Research Council funding while consolidating their position as independent research leaders with the capacity to drive ambitious, high-impact research at an international level.
