On June 2, 2026, the European Research Council (ERC) will host an informative webinar entirely dedicated to the launch of the call for the new ERC Plus Grants. This event represents a key opportunity for researchers and research institutions wishing to learn more about this new European funding opportunity.

During the event, a comprehensive overview of the program will be provided, analyzing its scope, strategic objectives, eligibility criteria, and the guidelines that will drive the evaluation of proposals.

The webinar will feature top figures from the agency, including ERC President Maria Leptin and Philippe Cupers, Head of the ERC Scientific Management Department. The meeting will be moderated by Martin Penny, Head of Communication at the ERCEA (ERC Executive Agency).

Following the presentations, participants will have the opportunity to interact directly with the speakers and ask questions during a dedicated Q&A session.

Access to the event is free and open to all interested parties; no registration is required.
