12 researchers in Sweden to recieve ERC Consolidator Grant 2022

ERC Consolidator Grant is intended for researchers whose PhDs were awarded 7-12 years ago, and the average grant is 2 million EUR paid across five years.

In total, 321 researchers from 18 countries in Europe will share 657 million EUR. Among the 12 researchers in Sweden receiving ERC Consolidator Grant, two are active within life sciences and ten in physical and engineering sciences.

In addition to these 12 researchers, four researchers from Swedish universities have received the highest grade (A) on their application and been placed on the ERC reserve list. 17 other researchers did receive the highest grade, but was placed in the category "unfunded A", which means outside budget.
