Objectives

The ERC Plus grant supports outstanding principal investigators tackling a major scientific challenge. Applications for ERC Plus grants must concern projects that could not be carried out with a classic ERC grant. Applicants must explain how the objectives of the proposed project go beyond those of a classic ERC project, for example because they aim to transform their field or open up a new field of research. Researchers, regardless of their career stage, can apply for an ERC Plus grant if they can demonstrate an exceptional scientific track record at the forefront of their field.
