We established the BMC2ERC platform in February 2025 to increase the number, quality and success rate of European Research Council (ERC) project submissions from our center. The sole criterion for the evaluation and selection of research projects for prestigious ERC grants is the excellence of the scientific idea.
European Research Council (ERC) grants are awarded through an open competition. There are three main grant schemes: the ERC Starting Grants, designed to support projects by young scientists who are beginning to develop their independent careers and set up their own research teams; the ERC Consolidator Grants, which support projects by scientists at the stage of consolidating their own research teams; and the ERC Advanced Grants, a scheme for established researchers who have already achieved internationally recognised results or have made an impact in their field of science.
Applications for grants can come from any field of research, including social sciences and humanities. In particular, interdisciplinary projects that cross the boundaries of different research areas, ground-breaking projects to address new research areas or proposals to introduce unconventional and innovative approaches in science are encouraged.
