- Advanced Grants (AdG) offer grants to excellent, leading researchers to pursue field changing research.
- Synergy Grants (SyG) is a new instrument that has been developed in order to bring together complementary skills, knowledge and resources from 2-4 excellent researchers with the goal of jointly addressing research problems.
- Proof of Concept (PoC) Grants have been developed with the aim to bring the results of ERC-funded projects closer to the market. It offers ERC grant holders an additional €150,000 over 12 months to investigate business opportunities resulting from an ERC-funded activity.
