ERC Synergy Grants

ERC Synergy Grants support challenging research projects the complexity of which requires collaboration between several research groups. The leading scientists must demonstrate outstanding achievements in accordance with their career level. In addition to excellent scientific quality, the projects should demonstrate clear synergy effects. The funding amount is up to 10 million euros for a period of 6 years.
