Call for ERC Consolidator Grant Projects (ERC-2025-COG)

The ERC Consolidator Grant scheme is designed to support outstanding Principal Investigators at a career stage where they may still be consolidating their independent research team or program. Principal Investigators must demonstrate the groundbreaking nature, ambition, and feasibility of their research proposal.

The maximum funding amount is €2,000,000 for a period of 5 years. For shorter projects, the funding amount will be proportionally reduced. Additional funding may be requested in accordance with the call's conditions.

Principal Investigators must have successfully defended their first PhD at least 7 years and no more than 12 years before January 1, 2025.

Details about the call are available on the ERC website, including the Information for Applicants document and the timeline. The call is also published on the European Commission's Funding & Tenders Portal, which is used for the electronic submission of project proposals.
