ERC Advanced Grant 2023 : winners hosted by CNRS

Corporate

The European Research Council (ERC) has just announced the results of the 'ERC Advanced Grant 2023" call for established researchers. The CNRS is the host institution for 15 of the grant-winning projects.

In 2024, the European Research Council (ERC) is funding 255 researchers in Europe through its 'Advanced' grants of a total of €652 million from the Horizon Europe framework programme. These grants enable scientists with national and international recognition to work on innovative, high-risk projects that open up new directions in their discipline or in other fields. These grants are for established researchers who are thus at a higher level of experience than beneficiaries of the 'Starting' (up to €1.5 million, for European project leaders who obtained their PhD between 2 and 7 years ago) and 'Consolidator' (up to €2 million, between 7 and 12 years after the PhD) grants. These are 5-year projects and have a maximum budget of €2.5 million.

In total, approximately 14% of the 1829 applicant projects were funded, in conjunction with universities, research centers, and companies in 20 European countries.

The CNRS is the host institution for 15 of the winning projects which ranks the organisation ahead of the Max Planck Institute (11 projects), the Helmholtz Association (10)  and the Weizmann Institute of Science (6). 22 winners also come from joint research units (UMRs) involving the CNRS and its partners. Among the winning projects, 9 are in physics and engineering, 2 in life sciences and 4 in the humanities and social sciences:
