The European Research Council (ERC) is a European Union agency founded in 2007 to advance scientific excellence in Europe by offering competitive opportunities to researchers of any nationality and age to pursue ambitious work. It operates with an investigator-driven, bottom-up approach that lets researchers choose topics across fields, including Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences and Humanities. The ERC is part of Horizon Europe, the EU's framework for research and innovation for 2021–2027. It is based in Sint-joost-ten-node, Brussels, Belgium, and is a sizeable organization within the research services sector. The ERC provides long-term support to individual researchers and their teams based on excellence, enabling them to pursue ground-breaking research. The projects it supports are expected to drive scientific advances and to set frontier research directions worldwide, contributing to unpredictable discoveries in Europe.
