The European Research Council (ERC) has launched the first call for its new ERC Plus Grants, a funding scheme intended to support ambitious and potentially transformative research across Europe.
Backed by a budget of €210 million, the programme is part of the 'Choose Europe' initiative which seeks to reinforce Europe's position as a global center for scientific excellence, attracting and retaining the world's top scientific talent.
