The ERC funds top researchers in Europe, of any nationality, helping them pursue great ideas at frontiers of knowledge.
About us
Set up in 2007 by the European Union, the European Research Council (ERC) aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age from anywhere in the world. As part of Horizon Europe, the EU programme for research and innovation for 2021 to 2027, the ERC has a total budget of over €16 billion. The ERC has an 'investigator-driven', 'bottom-up' approach, which allows researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities). On the sole basis of excellence, the ERC provides attractive long-term funding to individual top scientists and their teams to pursue ground-breaking research. The funded projects are expected to lead to scientific advances and to set clear and inspirational targets for frontier research across the world. By supporting the brightest minds, the ERC grants help to bring about new and unpredictable scientific and technological discoveries in Europe.

Ukraine continues to be under an unprovoked, unjustified attack. Three years after Putin launched his failed full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Europe has already provided substantial economic, humanitarian, financial and military assistance. But we must keep up efforts to protect our shared future and resolutely oppose Russia’s crimes and destruction. We will stand with Ukraine every step of the way. europa.eu/!GTNH9C #StandWithUkraine

Happy Independence Day, 🇪🇪 Estonia! Head vabariigi aastapäeva! 🎉 Laur Kanger is investigating why future technologies can aggravate environmental problems rather than solve them. He explains: “The problem of today’s society is that we are trying to address 21st-century environmental problems with 19th and 20th-century understandings of science and technology. Our proposed new framework will help us recognise these perceptions, learn from history, and possibly take them into account when designing sustainability interventions in the future.” #FrontierResearch Research in Estonia University of Tartu

How about a solar-powered reactor that could enable cars and planes to run on CO2 drawn from the air (and converted into fuel)? Erwin Reisner's ERC-funded research group at the University of Cambridge develops devices that convert waster, water and air into practical fuels and chemicals.

The world's first financial atlas! Taking Dariusz Wojcik FAcSS 12 years to complete (with help from a large team at the University of Oxford), it highlights various abuses and inequalities, including the lasting effects of apartheid on #CapeTown’s housing market, showing the stark disparities in #property prices between historically segregated areas.

Open science: why and how sharing research findings empowers the scientific community and benefits society. #OpenScience is mandatory under Horizon Europe, the EU's research and innovation programme. That's because the EU wants public funding to have a real impact on our lives, the economy and the environment - and research doesn't have impact if it stays behind closed doors! EU citizens agree: a Eurobarometer survey published this month found that 80% of citizens agreed with the statement that scientific results of publicly funded research should be made available online free of charge. Check out our guidance to make the most of your research findings: https://europa.eu/!WXhnGW

Is static electricity really random? Researchers have now uncovered a crucial factor: a material’s contact history determines how it transfers charge. For centuries, static electricity has been a source of curiosity and debate. This new discovery, made by Scott Waitukaitis and his team at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, challenges the long-held assumption that static electricity is random, offering new insights into energy harvesting, materials science, and electrostatics.

“ERC succeeds because it’s different. Its simple, tailored procedures allow Europe’s best researchers to thrive. Bureaucratic processes designed for other programmes should not be imposed on it.” ERC President Maria Leptin spoke up for an independent ERC with a doubled budget today at the European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (#ITRE). Catch up on her whole session - from 16:03 👉 https://lnkd.in/eA5WCiB5
