From mini-organs to ultrafast filming: Early career researchers get funding from the #EuropeanResearchCouncil
What can we eat to prevent dementia? Are our eyes really the windows to our personalities? How do birds help forests flourish? 403 talented early career researchers have been awarded European Research Council grants to answer such questions.
Scientists will benefit in total from €603 million to create their own research teams and conduct pioneering projects. Research, Science and Innovation Commissoiner Carlos Moedas said: "In addition to supporting early stage European researchers, the ERC Starting Grants also help enrich the European research field by attracting and retaining foreign scientists in Europe. More than one in ten grantees comes from outside the EU or its associated countries. Europe is open to the world!"
The grants are part of the 'excellent science' pillar of the EU's current Research and Innovation programme, Horizon 2020.
