European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant
Supported by
Are you a talented early-career researcher (two-seven years post PhD) who has already produced excellent supervised work, is ready to work independently and shows potential to be a research leader? If so the ERC Starting Grant could be for you. This opportunity offers up to €1.5 million for a period of five years. There is no constraint in terms of topic.
Now that the UK is once again associated to Horizon Europe, applications for ERC funding have become more straightforward. The University of Oxford is very keen to support researchers in applying for this funding.
ERC Starting Grants are a fantastic opportunity. The application process is fairly lengthy and involved, but we are here to support you every step of the way and bring out the very best in your application.
Applicants already at Oxford can watch a recording of a recent briefing session on ERC Starting and Consolidator Grants, or consult the slides from this session.
Express your interest in applying for a ERC Starting Grant by completing the Expression of Interest Form by Monday 30 June 2025.
Please note the funder deadline is not yet confirmed but expected to be Oct/Nov 2025
