ERC awards 328 new Consolidator Grants
The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded Consolidator Grants to the total amount of €678 million. The 2024 Consolidator Grants will go to 328 researchers across Europe and aim to support outstanding scientists and scholars as they establish their independent research teams and develop their most promising scientific ideas. The funding is provided through Horizon Europe.
The grants will support scientific projects spanning all disciplines of research from engineering to life sciences to humanities. The laureates of this grant competition will carry out their projects at universities and research centres in 25 EU Member States and other countries associated with Horizon Europe. The highest numbers of grants will be located in Germany (67 projects), France (38), the UK (38) and the Netherlands (37). There are nationals of 43 countries among the winners of this call, notably Germans (60 researchers), French (34) and Italians (29). 11 grants will go to researchers located in Austria. The grants will likely create around 2,750 jobs for postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, and other staff at the host institutions.
