The ERC funds top researchers in Europe, of any nationality, helping them pursue great ideas at frontiers of knowledge.
About us
Set up in 2007 by the European Union, the European Research Council (ERC) aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age from anywhere in the world. As part of Horizon Europe, the EU programme for research and innovation for 2021 to 2027, the ERC has a total budget of over €16 billion. The ERC has an 'investigator-driven', 'bottom-up' approach, which allows researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities). On the sole basis of excellence, the ERC provides attractive long-term funding to individual top scientists and their teams to pursue ground-breaking research. The funded projects are expected to lead to scientific advances and to set clear and inspirational targets for frontier research across the world. By supporting the brightest minds, the ERC grants help to bring about new and unpredictable scientific and technological discoveries in Europe.

🤖 Imagine robots that can perform complex tasks with the coordination and adaptability of humans. How robots can adapt and work in unpredictable environments? Georgia Chalvatzaki will explore a new approach by treating robots and their surroundings as one unified system. This new project will use innovative techniques that will help robots learn from their surroundings, adapt to new tasks, and handle uncertainty, making them smarter and more flexible.

To infect a host cell, viruses typically need to attach their glycoprotein to a receptor - glycan or protein - on the cell's surface. Some viruses like influenza A 🤧 and coronaviruses 😷 can switch the receptors that they target, giving them even more opportunities to infect different cells. Antoni Wrobel and his research team will investigate the flexibility of glycoproteins, plus changes in receptor specificity. The team's aim is to shed light on the emergence of pandemic viruses and improve our ability to monitor and prepare for emerging pathogens.

🔥 Uncontrolled fires in buildings and nature are a growing concern, especially with climate change and an aging population. David Escofet Martin and his team will use advanced laser techniques to understand how fires spread, aiming to improve fire safety and prediction models. This groundbreaking project will use unique methods to measure temperature changes in both gases and surfaces during a fire that will help create better fire prevention strategies.

Teenagers spend a lot of time on online platforms and often use them as a primary source of information. Yet surprisingly little is known about childrens' susceptibility to disinformation, and how this might change from early adolescence to adulthood. In this newly #ERCStG-funded project, Ili Ma (and her team) at the Universiteit Leiden will develop the first ever account of susceptibility to disinformation throughout adolescence. Their findings will help build an evidence-based educational program against disinformation, tailored to the age-specific needs of youth. Ili Ma is an assistant professor in the Developmental and Educational Psychology unit of the Institute of Psychology at Leiden university.

Does the success of military alliances ultimately depend on public opinion? Countries often fail to honour collective defense commitments. However, the influence of public views on these critical decisions remains underexplored. With newly-awarded funding from an ERC Starting Grant, Michal Smetana and his team aim to place public opinion at the centre of understanding the microfoundations of collective defense.
