The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the 308 winning projects of the European call Consolidator Grant 2023. The total of winning initiatives will receive 627 million eurosthe subsidies are part of the EU’s Horizon Europe program
This funding will support “excellent” scientists and academics in the phase of their career in which they may still be consolidating their own independent teams to carry out its most promising ideas, says the ERC in a statement.
Of the total projects, 23 will be developed in Spanish research centers and universities by scientists with between seven and twelve years of postdoctoral experience.
Spain thus becomes, for the second consecutive year in this call, the third country in the European Union (EU-27) in number of projects, with a total financing of 46.5 million euroswhich represents a return rate of 9.6%.
The list of countries is headed by Germany and the United Kingdom, with 66 and 43 projects, respectively. Among the winners of this call there are 43 different nationalities.
This call will help in the creation of around 1,800 jobs for postdocs, doctoral students and other staff at the host institutions. Funding per project ranges frombetween two and three million euros.
56.52% of the projects financed to be developed in Spain will be led by scientists
With respect to participation by gender, it is worth noting that 56.52% of the projects financed to be developed in Spain will be led by female scientists.
In global European figures, the number of women researchers who will lead their research projects is somewhat below the figure for our country, being 38.6%. On the other hand, 35.7% of the evaluated proposals belonged to researchers and 0.38% to people with non-binary sex.
State support for the call
The Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, through the European Office of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), provides support for the preparation of proposals submitted to the ERC, through the work of its Points. Contact Nationals.
For this call, proposals reviews and mock interviews were carried out in the last phase of the evaluation process for candidates for Consolidator Grant 2023.
