The maximum funding amount for a project is €2.5 million (up to €3.5 million under certain conditions) for projects lasting up to 5 years.
The ERC supports researchers from around the world by offering attractive, long-term funding to carry out ambitious research projects across all scientific disciplines, with the goal of making significant discoveries and achieving ground-breaking results. The sole criterion for project evaluation is scientific excellence.
