ERC Starting Grants and Consolidator Grants

Information regarding Horizon Europe and ERC Grants

ERC Grants are part of a wider programme of research and innovation funding administered by the European Research Council called Horizon Europe. UK researchers can fully participate in the Horizon Europe programme on the same terms as researchers from other associated countries, including leading consortia, from the 2024 Work Programmes and onwards. For more information, see the University's webpages on Horizon Europe.
