European Research Council (ERC)
The Ideas programme is being implemented by the new European Research Council (ERC), which consists of a Scientific Council (to plan scientific strategy, establish the work programme, quality control and information activities) and an implementing agency (administration, support for applicants, proposal eligibility, grant management and practical organisation).
The European Research Council (ERC) is the first pan-European agency for funding research. The newly created Council, aims to fund more high-risk, yet potentially high-gain European research at the scientific frontier.
