The European Research Council Grants
The European Research Council (ERC) has just launched a new call under its prestigious grant schemes — which include Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants, and Advanced Grants aimed at individual researchers.
This initiative aims to attract leading researchers currently based outside Europe — particularly in the United States — by offering highly competitive funding conditions.
The application period will run from May 22 to August 28, 2025, and is intended to support established scientists who wish to relocate their research activities to European institutions.
