The ERC Plus grants are a new funding scheme to support outstanding Principal Investigators with bold ideas and a vision for transformative research that goes beyond the scope of existing ERC programmes.
On this webinar that will be held on Friday 28 November 2025 (14.00-15.30), Maria Leptin, ERC President, and Philippe Cupers, Head of the Scientific Management Department, will outline the scope, objectives, eligibility and evaluation process of this new funding initiative.
They will also explain how the new ERC Plus Grants sit within the wider ERC funding landscape and what applicants should bear in mind when preparing a proposal.
This is a fantastic opportunity for participants to ask questions and engage directly with the speakers. The session will be moderated by Martin Penny, Head of Communication at the ERC.
