Projects funded by European Research Council

Listen

The European Research Council (ERC) supports investigator-driven, bottom-up breakthrough research by individual research teams. Scientific quality is the sole criterion when the ERC selects projects to be funded. The host institution of the research must be based in an EU Member State or an associated country.

Currently in the School of Science nine reserch groups are funded by the ERC Grants.

ERC Advanced Grant

for scientifically advanced and recognised researchers regardless of their age.
