Funding Opportunity
The ERC Synergy Grant enables small groups of outstanding researchers to integrate complementary expertise in pursuit of complex research objectives that exceed the capacity of one PI. It supports high-level scientific collaboration where the integration of perspectives, methods, and disciplines enables research outcomes beyond the reach of single projects. Our reviewers’ expertise helps you develop a compelling case for European Research Council funding to deliver ambitious, high-impact research that advances the frontiers of knowledge through coordinated scientific excellence.
Expert ERC Guidance
How we support your application
We will help you craft your proposal to present your team as a single, integrated research system designed to achieve results beyond the capacity of an individual PI. Your proposal will demonstrate that collaboration is scientifically prudent and supports both the project’s research goals and feasibility. The goal is for your proposal to present an integrated ERC Synergy funding application where interdependence, methodology, and coordination form a carefully integrated research design in line with the highest European Research Council review standards. To achieve this, each PI’s contribution will underpin the scientific necessity and credibility of the overall project. Simultaneously, we will help you highlight the added scientific value of your collaboration design and methodological framework, together with the team justification. The ongoing expert refinement we provide helps researchers develop a well-integrated and highly competitive ERC Synergy Grant application.
Our ERC Expert Reviewers
What our experts bring to your application
Our team of experienced reviewers includes former ERC panelists, ERC grantees, and senior researchers with extensive experience assessing large-scale collaborative projects at the highest level.
