  ERC Plus grants

The European Research Council will introduce a new funding scheme called 
ERC Plus starting in 2026. To support this, the ERC has published a 
dedicated information page that brings together key details on the new 
grant category: ERC Plus Grant|ERC 
<https://erc.europa.eu/apply-grant/erc-plus-grant>
The webpage provides information on the objectives of the ERC Plus, its 
positioning within the ERC funding portfolio, and the planned timeline, 
among other aspects.
The call can only be launched after the adoption of the updated ERC Work 
Programme, which is scheduled for January 2026. The publication of the 
call is expected at a later stage.The webpage will be updated on an 
ongoing basis and serves as the central point of reference for those 
wishing to learn more about the ERC Plus.
