European projects
Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is the European Union’s framework program for research and innovation for the period 2021-2027. Its aim is to invest in the future, notably by tackling climate change and helping to achieve the UN's sustainable development objectives. To achieve this, it is founded on several pillars, in particular the “science of excellence” pillar (including funding from the European Research Council) and thematic clusters to facilitate collaboration and strengthen the impact of research and innovation on global issues (inter alia: Health; Digital, Industry and Space; Climate, Energy and Mobility, etc.).
European Research Council Grants
The main activity of the European Research Council (ERC) is to provide attractive, long-term funding to help scientists and their teams pursue innovative and ambitious research. Scientists from all fields of research, whatever their age or career stage, may apply. ERC funding is awarded without pre-determined priorities.
ERC Synergy Grants allow a small group of two to four scientists to jointly tackle ambitious problems that they and their teams would not be able to solve alone. Synergy projects must have the aim of achieving substantial breakthroughs resulting, for example, from collaboration between scientific fields, fruitful new areas of research, or new methods and techniques, including unconventional approaches. Synergy grants may amount to a maximum of €10 million over a 6-year period. Additional funding of €4 million may be requested.

ERC Advanced Grants are designed to help scientists at a stage in their career when they are already leading researchers. Scientists must demonstrate the innovative character, ambition and feasibility of their scientific proposal. They must be active researchers and have conducted significant research studies over the last ten years. ERC Advanced Grants may amount to a maximum of €2.5 million over a 5-year period. Additional funding of €1 million may be requested.

ERC Consolidator Grants support scientists when they are still in the process of consolidating their own research team or programme. Scientists must demonstrate the innovative character, ambition and feasibility of their project. They must have successfully defended their (first) doctorate at least 7 years and up to 12 years prior to the application. ERC Consolidator Grants may amount to a maximum of €2 million over a 5-year period. Additional funding of €1 million may be requested

Les bourses ERC Starting Grants sont conçues pour épauler les scientifiques qui démarrent leur propre équipe ou programme de recherche. Les scientifiques doivent avoir soutenu avec succès leur (premier) doctorat au moins deux ans et jusqu'à sept ans avant la demande et avoir déjà démontré leur potentiel d'indépendance en matière de recherche. Les bourses ERC Starting Grants peuvent atteindre un maximum de 1,5 million d'euros pour une période de 5 ans. Un financement supplémentaire d'un million d'euros peut être demandé.

ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim to facilitate the exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC-funded research projects, by funding further studies (i.e. activities that were not intended to be funded by the original ERC Exploratory Research Grant). ERC Proof of Concept Grants are thus only offered to scientists whose proposals build substantially on their ERC-funded research.
