The European Research Council (ERC) will hold an online info session to present the novelties introduced in the ERC Work Programme 2026. The session will help applicants prepare for the upcoming Starting, Consolidator, and Advanced Grant calls by explaining how the changes will affect proposal submission and evaluation.

Participants will receive practical guidance on the new proposal structure, updated eligibility extension rules, additional relocation funding, and the new resubmission restrictions. Researchers from all EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries are welcome, with special encouragement for applicants from Widening countries.
