University of Warsaw European Research Council Grants

European Research Council Grants

Among projects financed as part of the European or international programmes, particularly interesting are prestigious grants of the European Research Council:  Starting Grants, Advanced Grants, Consolidator Grants, Proof of Concept Grants as well as Synergy Grants. The subsidy is awarded as part of the IDEAS programme, supporting the most innovative ventures in all fields of the science.
