The European Commission is inviting the European research community to nominate outstanding candidates for membership to the Scientific Council, the governing body of the European Research Council (ERC).

Members of the Scientific Council are appointed by the Commission based on recommendations from the independent Standing Identification Committee, which has the mandate to select the candidates. With nearly a quarter of the current council members due to be replaced in the next 12 months, this is a crucial moment for institutions to recommend top-tier candidates from diverse scientific fields to continue fostering Europe's research, competitiveness and sustainability goals.

Deadline for submission is 23 June 2025 at 12:00 CET.

For more information and to submit your nomination, please visit the European Commission’s website.
