Consolidator Grants award around €2 million for projects typically lasting 5 years. Awardees must have 7-12 years of highly promising postdoctoral experience plus an excellent research proposal. With funding from the EU’s Horizon Europe programme, these grants will support cutting-edge research at universities and research centres in 25 EU Member States and associated countries. The ERC received 3,121 applications for this call, of which 11.2% were successful.
Oxford received more grants than any other institution in the UK. Among the eleven grants for Oxford academics, two were awarded to professors in the Medical Sciences Division:
-
Associate Professor Alexander Clarke, Kennedy Institute for Rheumatology

Associate Professor Armin Lak, Department of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics (DPAG) and Fellow of St John’s College.
Congratulations to all the awardees!
