This event is designed for Trinity researchers aiming to develop a proposal for ERC Starting or Consolidator Grants for 2026 or 2027 deadlines.

ERC Starting Grants worth €1.5 million are open to early career researchers up to 10 years post-PhD. The next deadline will be in October 2026. 

ERC Consolidator Grants worth €2 million are open to researchers 5-15 years post-PhD. The next deadline will be in January 2027. 

Both grants are for 5 years. Research funded by the ERC is expected to be novel, ambitious, and to advance the frontiers of knowledge. Applicants must have a track record of original and groundbreaking research for their career stage.
