The European Research Council (ERC) has published a new series of videos on its official YouTube channel called ERC classes. These videos have been prepared with the new developments related to the 2026 work programme in mind and offer practical advice on how to best prepare an ERC grant application.
The series includes clearly compiled tips and tricks, which can greatly help when writing a project proposal. The videos cover, among other things, evaluation criteria, formal requirements and other aspects that play a key role in the evaluation of applications. The series is aimed not only at new applicants, but also at those who have already applied for an ERC grant in the past and want to stay up-to-date with the latest changes.
We also recommend watching the webinar recording from 12 July 2025, which details the changes to the 2026 work programme and offers important information for all potential applicants.
