Rising Explorers – Field Science Grants
This program opens doors for high school and undergraduate students worldwide to design and carry out meaningful field research. Rather than serving as travel experiences or school trips, projects must generate new scientific knowledge across disciplines such as biology, ecology, wildlife conservation, environmental science, archaeology, anthropology, and marine studies. Awards average around $2,000 USD, supporting […]
ERC Starting Grants – Empowering Emerging Research Leaders
The ERC Starting Grant is designed to help outstanding early‑career researchers establish their own independent teams and programs. It supports Principal Investigators who have already demonstrated research independence — for example, by publishing significant work as lead author without their PhD supervisor. Eligible applicants must hold a PhD (or equivalent) defended between 1 January 2017 […]
ERC Advanced Grants – Powering Frontier Research
The ERC Advanced Grant is one of Europe’s most prestigious research funding opportunities, designed to empower established research leaders with bold ideas and proven track records. It supports groundbreaking projects that push the boundaries of knowledge and deliver transformative impact across disciplines. Researchers of any age or nationality can apply, provided they carry out their […]
