The ERC Scientific Council has taken into account the concerns raised by the research community regarding the recent changes to the re-submission rules. As a result, it has decided to revise some of these changes for the 2027 Work Programme.

For Starting, Consolidator, Advanced and ERC Plus Grants, the re-submission restrictions will remain unchanged compared to previous years. However, stricter restrictions will apply to Synergy Grant applications.
