Six researchers in Sweden to recieve an ERC Proof of Concept Grant

The ERC Proof of Concept funding is made available to those who already have an ERC award, and will cover activities at the very early stage of turning research outputs into a commercial or socially valuable proposition.

In 2022, two calls took place. The second call, ERC PoC2, had a total of three deadlines. Now the results from the third and last round have arrived. 90 researchers from 18 different countries were awarded this grant, worth 150 000 euro. Six of those are affiliated to a Swedish university.
