ERC - Additional opportunities

28.01.2020

You can develop your career through public funding linked to ERC projects, even if you do not receive an ERC Grant.

There are three routes for this:

  • Jobs in ERC teams: Recipients of ERC grants can use their funding to recruit other researchers and team members for their project. On average, each team has 4-5 members. Since its inception, ERC funding has helped create jobs for thousands of researchers.
  • Visiting Research Fellowships: A number of European countries fund research visits to established ERC projects in order to develop researchers’ potential before they apply for their first ERC grant.
  • International Arrangement funding: International agreements with funding agencies and science ministries in China, South Africa, the United States and some other countries support young researchers to temporarily join ERC teams in Europe.
