22 forskare i Sverige får ERC Starting Grant 2024

ERC Starting Grant riktar sig till forskare i början av sin karriär och har vetenskaplig excellens som enda urvalskriterium. Forskarna och deras projekt har genom peer review-granskning och i mycket hög konkurrens blivit högst rankade i Europa. I år sökte 3474 forskare bidraget.

Totalt får 494 forskare i Europa dela på 780 miljoner euro, vilket ger en beviljandegrad på cirka 14,2 procent.

Bland de 22 forskarna i Sverige som får ERC Starting Grant 2024 är tio verksamma inom life science, sex inom humaniora och samhällsvetenskap och sex inom naturvetenskap och teknikvetenskap (physical sciences and engineering).
