ERC National Contact Point

The ERC National Contact Point (NCP) is a free service for anyone who is currently based in the UK. It is also available to anyone who wishes to apply with a UK-based organisation for an ERC grant or has already been awarded one.

UKRO has temporarily closed the phone lines for the ERC National Contact Point but the Helpdesks continue to operate via erc-uk@ukro.ac.uk.

We also offer online meetings. You can request this through the e-mail address above.

Sign up for UK Horizon Europe newsletters for regular updates to the programme from the UK National Contact Points.

The ERC UK National Contact Point is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology.
