European Research Council grant distribution

Overview

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced its latest round of Starting Grants, distributing 705 million euros among 421 researchers. The ERC reported a record 4,807 applications, representing a 22 percent increase from the previous cycle. Germany led the rankings with 84 winners, followed by Italy with 50.

Individual grant recipients include researchers focusing on diverse fields such as climate risk management, artificial intelligence governance, and the impact of academic disciplines on long-term physical and mental health. The European Commission noted a rise in interest from non-European researchers, including those from the United States, as part of the ‘Choose Europe’ initiative to attract global scientific talent.
