- ERC Consolidator Grant, for scientists who want to establish a research team and develop a success career;
- ERC Advanced Grant, for experienced scientists who want to pursue a ground-breaking, high-risk project;
- ERC Synergy Grant;
- ERC Proof of concept Grant
ULB is home to 54 current or former ERC grant laureates:
