ERC Grants
The European Research Council (ERC) supports outstanding researchers and their teams at all stages of their academic career in five different funding lines: Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants, Advanced Grants, Synergy Grants, Proof of Concept Grants. Its complete thematic openness and the funding of visionary basic research (“groundbreaking pioneer research”) characterize the ERC. The funding quota are around 10-15%.
The different ERC funding lines
Many applicants do not have a permanent employment contract. Therefore, TU Dortmund University assures all ERC Starting and Consolidator Grantees who do not have a permanent position to finance the remaining part of the position that cannot be financed by the grant for the duration of the grant. Please contact us as early as possible if this is relevant for you. If successful, we will also be happy to support you during the implementation of the project, both in budget monitoring and reporting.
Please feel free to contact the team of the Grants Services.
