ERC Synergy Grants 2026 Call is Open!

The ERC Synergy Grants (SyG) 2026 call opens today with a deadline of 5 November 2025.

Researchers based in Switzerland are eligible to apply for an ERC Synergy Grant (maximum budget €10 million) as part of a team of 2-4 PIs to address ambitious research questions. 

If you are planning to submit a proposal to the ERC-SyG-2026 call with a host institution based in Switzerland, we invite you to join our National Information Event on 19 August from 11:30-13:00. 

The event will feature insights from an ERC SyG grantee and a SyG panel member, as well as key information on the principles and conditions of the 2026 call from the ERC Executive Agency. 

More information and registration are available here.

Please contact the ERC National Contact Points at if you have any questions or need information about the call and our services (proposal advice & review and interview training sessions).
