Research Service
Date: 28 November 2025 / 15:00 - 16:30
The ERC Plus Grants are a new funding scheme designed to back outstanding principal investigators with ambitious ideas and a clear vision for transformative research that extends beyond the remit of current ERC programmes.
In this webinar about the ERC Plus Grants, ERC President Maria Leptin and Philippe Cupers, Head of the Scientific Management Department, will present the initiative’s scope, aims, eligibility criteria, and evaluation procedure.
They will also situate the ERC Plus Grants within the broader ERC funding portfolio and highlight key points for applicants to consider when drafting a proposal. The webinar will include a Q&A, giving participants the chance to engage directly with the speakers.
The session will be moderated by Martin Penny, Head of Communication at the ERC.
