The European Research Council (ERC) has this latest film which will give you an overview of the schemes and what the ERC are looking for.
The ERC encourages in particular proposals that cross disciplinary boundaries, pioneering ideas that address new and emerging fields and applications that introduce unconventional, innovative approaches.
The film is just over 5 minutes long and will help break down the comprehensive guidance found on their website and call documents.
The film can be found here: ‘Step by Step to ERC Grants‘
