The European Research Council (ERC), the EU’s main funding body for basic research, is holding webinars to guide researchers through its 2026 Work Programme, which outlines €2.7 billion in funding opportunities.

On September 11, the ERC will host a session for applicants, focusing on detailed changes, rules and opportunities in the 2026 programme.

The first webinar, held in July, introduced the €2.7 billion budget, application calendar and eligibility conditions for newcomers to ERC grants. A recording of that session is available online here.

Registration for the September 11 webinar is available here.
