European Research Council (ERC) H2020

The ERC makes major contributions to individual researchers or research groups that have defined their own research project. When ERC selects the projects proposed for funding, it is entirely the quality of research and excellence that governs funding. The ERC's support for research targets all research areas, but the research needs to be carried out in one of the EU member states or an associated country.
