The European Research Council (ERC), under Horizon Europe, is expected to fund ambitious frontier research projects led by outstanding researchers who are consolidating their independent research career.

The ERC Consolidator Grant 2027 is expected to:

• Support investigator-driven frontier research in any field of science and scholarship.
• Fund projects led by a single Principal Investigator and hosted by a single institution.
• Support high-risk, high-gain research with scientific excellence as the sole evaluation criterion.
• Provide funding for projects of up to 60 months.
• Use a single-stage application process with a two-step evaluation procedure, including an interview at Step 2.
• Be open to proposals from all scientific domains, including Life Sciences, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Social Sciences & Humanities.

Objective: To support excellent researchers who are consolidating their own independent research team or programme through groundbreaking frontier research.
