(26 April 2022) – The European Research Council announced today the winners of its latest Advanced Grants competition. The funding, worth in total €624 million, will go to 253 leading researchers across Europe.
Their work is set to provide new insights into many subjects, such as using mathematics to find better ways to use antibiotics and chemotherapy, how to protect the biodiversity of islands, exploring the Cosmic Dawn, and understanding how the sounds of our languages change over time.
This new round of grants should create an estimated 2,300 jobs for postdoctoral fellows, PhD students and other staff.
The grantees represent 28 nationalities and will carry out their projects at universities and research centres across 21 EU Member States and countries associated to Horizon Europe.
