ERC Consolidator Grants support promising researchers who are at the beginning of an independent research career. The consolidation of their own research team will be funded with the grant.

For the evaluation of the researcher profile, several benchmarks according to research domain and career development are taken into account. For instance, applicants should have several important publications without their Ph.D. supervisor. Other benchmarks include publications as first author in high-ranking international journals, (translated) monographs, patents, conference presentations or (inter)national prizes and awards.

The topic of the project: open to all fields of research ("bottom-up")
What will be funded: 100 % direct costs plus 25 % overhead for indirect costs
Host institution: universities/universities of applied sciences, research institutes, companies, and international organizations with registered offices in an EU Member State or FP-Associated Country
