[EVENT]ERC StG and CoG 2026 Workshop

21.05.2025

We would like to invite to the Information Event on ERC StG and CoG 2026 on 21 May 2025, 15:00 – 17:00.

The ERC StG scheme aims to support promising early career researchers, 2-7 years post PhD (extension possible under certain conditions) who already have an excellent track record and important publications. The ERC StG will provide funding of up to 1.5 million Euros for up to 5 years and will support the Principal Investigator to build their own independent research team.

The ERC-CoG scheme is open to excellent researchers 7-12 years post PhD (extension possible under certain conditions) who can already demonstrate independent research work and leadership, in addition to important publications. The ERC Consolidator Grant will provide a maximum of 2 million EUR for up to 5 years and should support the PI in the strengthening of an already existing research group.

The workshop will provide information on both funding schemes. In addition to contributions from the Research Services, a representative of the National Contact Point (FFG) will provide information on the funding schemes. 

The work programme will open in July 2025. Information on ERC StG and CoG can be found here: erc.europa.eu 

The event will take place online and in English on Wednesday, 21 May 2025, 15:00 – 17:00.
