284 scientists are set to receive €660 million in the latest funding round from the European Research Council (ERC), the European Commission announced on 26 September 2013. In its sixth and last Advanced Grant competition under the EU's Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7), the ERC will provide individual grants of up to €3.5 million. The next Advanced Grants call will be the first under Horizon 2020, the new EU research and innovation programme. Advanced Grants are awarded to well-established top researchers of any nationality or age, scientifically independent and with a recent research track-record, as well as a profile which identifies them as leaders in their respective field(s). The ERC also funds young, early-career top researchers (ERC Starting Grants) and already independent excellent scientists (ERC Consolidator Grants). |
