New opportunities for excellent researchers: ERC announces its Work Programme for 2023

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced its Work Programme for 2023. This programme, with a total budget of around € 2.2 billion, offers funding opportunities for Europe’s excellent researchers. The Work Programme also introduces some new elements.

New elements in the ERC Work Programme 2023

The Work Programme contains all ERC grant schemes. However, there are also a few new elements:

• The grant scheme Proof of Concept will have an increased budget of € 30 million instead of the usual € 25 million;
• Are you a researcher seeking asylum or are you victim of a natural disaster? Two additional grounds for extension of the eligibility windows for the candidates for Starting and Consolidator Grants will be introduced for these researchers;
• There will be a special grant to support the ERC Science Journalism Initiative. This entails support for journalists who wish to spend time at research institutions to better understand frontier research.

When to apply?

These are the tentative deadlines for this Work Programme. Mind you, both the Starting Grant and Synergy Grant are already open for applications.
