What makes an ERC grant so appealing?

ERC grants are Europe’s most prestigious research grants.
ERC grantees have won prestigious international awards, including seven Nobel Prizes, four Fields Medals, and five Wolf Prizes.
ERC grants are among the highest available for scientists and researchers, ranging from 1.5 to 5 million euros.
ERC grants provide significant support for cutting-edge breakthrough research.
ERC grants provide a mechanism for investing rapidly in research targeted at new and emerging issues confronting society.

What is the “ERC Success Hub”?

It is simple - we want more ERC grantees at BGU, and we are willing to assist as much as necessary!

Successfully submitting to the ERC is no easy task on its own and that is why BGU has started the ERC Success Hub.

The ERC Success Hub will provide a support system for researchers who have the potential to win the ERC grants and provide them with incentives during the submission process and afterward.
