ERC Grants
Grantees at the MDC
ERC Advanced Grants
Advanced Grants support established researchers who are seen as independent research leaders in their own right. To qualify for an application, researchers need an excellent scientific track record over a period of at least ten years. An Advanced grant supports researchers for 5 years with € 2.5 million (up to € 3.5 million in exceptional cases).
