Main content
The main objective of the European Research Council (ERC) is to promote high-quality research in Europe by investing in the best researchers and the best ideas. ERC grants are awarded to researchers working in Europe based on their ideas and scientific skills in any field of study. Because the research areas are not determined by politicians, this means that funding is more widely distributed on new and promising research projects with a high degree of flexibility.
