ERC grants are funded by the European Commission and intended to support projects that push the frontiers of human knowledge. Researchers of any nationality and any scientific domain are eligible, as long as they work in Europe or are willing to move from other parts of the world to do so.
In preparation for the upcoming 2025 ERC Grant applications, the National Contact Point of the Netherlands (RVO) will present an information session for potential VU applicants, with a main focus on the Starting Grant. This session will take place on Monday March 11 at the VU campus (Agora 1).
During this session you will gain insight into:
- the ERC rules and procedures
- the profile of a potentially successful candidate
- the term 'frontier science'
- and receive an overview of the recent changes in the ERC programme
