15 researchers in Sweden to receive an ERC Consolidator Grant
The ERC has published the results of the call for Consolidator Grants. The grants are intended for researchers whose PhDs were awarded 7-12 years ago, and the average grant is 2 million EUR paid across five years. 15 of the researchers to receive a grant have a Swedish host institution.
In total, 313 researchers from 24 countries in Europe will share 632 million EUR. Among the 15 researchers in Sweden receiving ERC Consolidator Grant, seven are active within life sciences, seven in physical and engineering sciences and one in social sciences and humanities.
In addition to these 15 researchers, five researchers from Swedish universities have received the highest grade (A) and been placed on the ERC reserve list.
