The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded its Consolidator Grants 2024 to 328 researchers across Europe. These grants, totalling €678 million, aim to support scientists in setting up their independent research teams and developing their most promising scientific ideas.
Projects selected for funding
Grants will support frontier research through projects in any area of knowledge, from engineering to life sciences and the humanities. Examples of projects include:
- Investigating what influences people’s responses to migrants.
- Using artificial intelligence to improve firefighting strategies.
- Analyse how voters of a losing party can accept defeat in democratic elections.
Facts and figures
The proposals funded under this call will be carried out in universities and research centres located in 25 EU Member States, as well as in other countries associated with Horizon Europe. Germany leads the list with the largest number of grants, with a total of 67 projects, followed by France and the UK, both with 38 projects, and the Netherlands with 37. It is estimated that these grants will generate approximately 2,750 jobs for postdoctoral researchers, PhD students and professionals at the host institutions.
Kveloce’s experience in the ERC
At Kveloce we understand the complex process of applying for European Research Council (ERC) grants, and we are committed to providing the necessary support so that research staff can face these challenges with confidence and security, through a variety of services.
From the Preliminary Assessment, which examines the characteristics of the application and proposal to determine its feasibility, to the Strategic Review, where we provide recommendations to align proposals with the ERC’s objectives, Kveloce aims to provide the necessary support throughout the process. We also offer optional final verification services and graphic support to ensure that every detail is taken care of. In addition, we prepare research staff for ERC interviews through simulations that replicate the real environment, and assist in the development and writing of proposals, ensuring that they are structured in a coherent and convincing manner, with a focus on clarity and potential project impact.
With our expertise, we seek to be a strategic partner on your path to research excellence.
