The changes are available in more detail in an ERC news article accompanied by an open letter from the ERC President Maria Leptin. The new eligibility windows for ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants and the new application and resubmission restrictions are announced ahead of the publication of the 2027 ERC Work Programme, which is foreseen in summer 2026.
