31 January 2023 | Warmest congratulations to the 15 mid-career researchers affiliated with one of the EuroTech Universities that have just been granted an ERC Consolidator Grant! In its latest funding round, the European Research Council awarded in total €657 million to 321 excellent scientists, who have 7 to 12 years’ experience after their PhDs, to pursue their most promising ideas.
President of the European Research Council Prof. Maria Leptin said: “ERC Consolidator grants support researchers at a crucial time of their careers, strengthening their independence, reinforcing their teams and helping them establish themselves as leaders in their fields. And this backing above all gives them a chance to pursue their scientific dreams.”
Due to the non-association of Switzerland to Horizon Europe, EPFL-affiliated researchers were not eligible for funding.
