6 September 2023 | Congratulations to 19 young researchers affiliated with EuroTech Universities who were awarded an ERC Starting Grant yesterday! Out of those 19 laureates, 11 are women, a higher share than the overall share of female researchers funded in this round (43%). All EuroTech Universities were successful (due to the non-association of Switzerland to Horizon Europe, EPFL-affiliated researchers were not eligible for funding).
In total, the European Research Council granted €628 million to 400 researchers at the beginning of their careers. The funding will allow them to launch their own projects, form their teams and pursue their best ideas. The competition attracted 2,696 proposals, which were reviewed by panels of renowned researchers from around the world. The overall success rate was 14.8%.
