ERC publishes final list of researchers receiving funding from 2022 ERC grant competitions

The European Research Council (ERC) has published the final lists of researchers receiving funding from the ERC's Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants and Advanced Grants under the ERC's 2022 Work Programme. The initial results of these competitions had been published in 2022 and early 2023. Since then, most of the successful candidates accepted the funding and signed their grant agreements. 

In the meantime, however, funding has become available for researchers in the reserve list, mainly because of the ineligibility of institutions based in the UK to host ERC grants. The UK was a country in the process of associating to Horizon Europe, and at that time the process was not yet completed.

That is why the ERC funding which was declined by the researchers based in the UK has become available for researchers whose proposals were evaluated as excellent but were initially put on reserve lists because of lack of funds.

The ERC lists include all researchers who were offered grants, including those in the UK, many of whom had to decline the funding. For each type of grant, there is a list covering all domains as well as separate lists for the three domains Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities.
