6 September 2024 | Congratulations to 17 young researchers affiliated with EuroTech Universities who were awarded an ERC Starting Grant yesterday! Starting Grants amount to €1.5 million per grant for a period of five years.
In total, the European Research Council granted €780 million to 494 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 3,474 proposals, which were reviewed by panels of renowned researchers from around the world. The overall success rate was 14.2%.
