ProgrammesThe results of the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant call (call deadline 12 December 2023) were published. Consolidator Grants are open to researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD (extensions are possible under certain documented circumstances), a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal.
Proposals are evaluated in 28 evaluation panels in three research domains (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities and Life Sciences) composed of top scientists and scholars coming from all over the world and in addition by remote referees with necessary specialised expertise (two to five per proposal).
Of the 2313 submitted proposals 328 researchers with 43 different nationalities received an ERC Consolidator Grant: 94 In Life Sciences, 131 in Physical Sciences and Engineering and 103 in Social Sciences and Humanities. In the ERCEA news articles more background on the evaluation results, call statistics and several project examples are highlighted.
Among the 328 selected researchers are seven based at Flemish host institutions. The projects of these seven Principal Investigators (PIs) are presented in the news articles of Universiteit Gent, KU Leuven and Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
