If, as a young principal investigator, you need support to consolidate your independence, the ERC is here to help. ERC Consolidator Grants are designed to back up researchers who want to establish their research teams and continue developing a successful career in Europe. The scheme also strengthens independent and excellent new individual research teams that have been recently created.
