On Monday March 3, IXA-GO, VU Grants Office and RVO (the Netherlands Enterprise Agency) are organising a general information session on the ERC Starting Grant & Consolidator Grant for the round of 2026.
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 2026 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 and Consolidator Grant. This session will take place on Monday March 3 at the VU campus (Agora 1).
For researchers with 2-7 years of experience since completion of PhD
Expected deadline: 10-2025
For researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD
Expected deadline: 1-2026
This information session is open to everyone working at the VU as a researcher. Registration is mandatory.
