The ERC’s grants operate on a ‘bottom-up’ basis without predetermined priorities.
Research must be conducted in a public or private research organisation (known as a Host Institution/HI). It could be the HI where the applicant already works, or any other HI located in one of the EU Member Statesor Associated Countries
Consolidator Grants may be awarded up to € 2 million for a period of 5 years. (pro rata for projects of shorter duration). However, an additional € 1 million can be made available to cover eligible “start-up” costs for researchers moving from a third country to the EU or an associated country and/or the purchase of major equipment and/or access to large facilities and/or other major experimental and field work costs.
An ERC grant can cover up to 100% of the total eligible direct costs of the research plus a contribution of 25% of the total eligible costs towards indirect costs.

The ERC funds up to 100% of the total eligible costs. The costs cover the full project duration.
This includes the direct costs of the project plus a flat-rate financing of indirect costs calculated as 25% of
the total eligible direct costs (excluding subcontracting). The flat rate is automatically calculated by
the system.
The budget is subdivided in: personnel costs, travel, equipment, consumables,
publications (including any costs related to Open Access), other additional direct costs, internally
invoiced goods and services, costs of in kind contributions not used on the beneficiary’s premises,
and any envisaged subcontracting costs. Use only Euro integers when preparing the budget table.
