Over €2.7 billion in ERC funding will be available in 2026. But what’s new, and how can you make the most of it?

Join us for a live webinar tailored for researchers new to ERC grants. Angela Liberatore and Alban Kellerbauer from the ERC Executive Agency will present the latest updates, including funding opportunities, budget allocations, the application calendar, and eligibility conditions. The session will be moderated by Martin Penny, Head of Communications at the ERC Executive Agency, who will also host a live Q&A.

If you're already familiar with ERC funding, stay tuned for a more advanced session coming in September.

Wherever you are in the world, we look forward to seeing you there!

Your questions during the webinar were numerous and will be answered in due time. In the meantime, feel free to explore our recently produced ERC Classes as they may already have answers to some of your questions.
