Open call: For Support Funding for ERC grants

This new instrument provides an incentive to Digital Futures faculty members to apply for European Research Council (ERC) grants in the following categories: Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants and Advanced Grants.  

The purpose of this call is to support the professional growth and development of our faculty members and encourage them to develop competitive ERC grant proposals. By providing financial support we also contribute to the development of high-quality research that aligns with Digital Futures vision. 

The 2025 Work Programme of the European Research Council has been adopted. Indicative summary of calls from the 2025 budget and important dates can be found here.

Digital Futures faculty members affiliated to KTH, and Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) can apply for this funding. This is a reoccurring call with applications possible during the whole year until we have granted 10 applications.
