The European Research Council (ERC) has selected 349 mid-career researchers for this year's Consolidator Grants. Funded by the EU's Horizon Europe programme, these grants will let researchers pursue ground-breaking ideas across disciplines.

The grants will support cutting-edge research at universities and research centres in 25 EU member states and associated countries. Projects that will receive funding include constructing powered protein motors, using quantum sensing to detect early sepsis and designing nanoparticles that target tumour cells.

Startups, Research and Innovation Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva (pictured) said: “Congratulations to all the researchers on winning the ERC grants. The record budget of €728 million shows the EU is serious about making the continent attractive for excellent researchers.”

The ERC received 3,121 applications for this call - a 35% increase compared with the previous round last year.
