12 researchers in Sweden to recieve ERC Consolidator Grant 2022
The ERC has published the results of the call for Consolidator Grants. 12 of the researchers to receive a grant have a Swedish host institution, the majority of them do research in natural sciences and engineering.
ERC Consolidator Grant is intended for researchers whose PhDs were awarded 7-12 years ago, and the average grant is 2 million EUR paid across five years.
In total, 321 researchers from 18 countries in Europe will share 657 million EUR. Among the 12 researchers in Sweden receiving ERC Consolidator Grant, two are active within life sciences and ten in physical and engineering sciences.
In addition to these 12 researchers, four researchers from Swedish universities have received the highest grade (A) on their application and been placed on the ERC reserve list. 17 other researchers did receive the highest grade, but was placed in the category "unfunded A", which means outside budget.

Swedish Research Council and ERC
The Swedish Research Council works to encourage more Swedish researchers to apply for and be awarded ERC grants. Some of our work consists of arranging interview training for researchers who have been selected for stage 2 of the application process. We also organise webinars with information about upcoming ERC calls.
