The European Research Council (ERC) is the premier European funding organisation for excellent frontier research. The ERC supports investigator-driven frontier research across all fields. It awards research grants to scientists and scholars from all over the world, both early-career and senior researchers, carrying out their ambitious research projects in all scientific disciplines in Europe.

This information session will highlight how the ERC supports top researchers from INDIA. Participants will learn about the different ERC Funding Schemes available and how to prepare a competitive application.

The session will also entail information on the opportunities to conduct short-term visits of ERC-funded research teams in Europe under existing bilateral schemes (Implementing Arrangements) between the ERC and Indian entities (i.e. SERB and ICSSR).
