There were 313 winners of the European Research Council鈥檚 latest round of Consolidator Grants, which had a funding total of聽鈧632 million (拢530,000).

Part of the EU鈥檚 Horizon Europe programme, the money will support mid-career researchers to help tackle major questions across all scientific disciplines. The new round of grants will also create an estimated 1,900 jobs for postdoctoral fellows, PhD students and other staff at 189 host institutions.

The 香港六合彩中特网聽recipients included:

  • Dr Daniel Bush (Department of Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy, 香港六合彩中特网 Queen Square Institute of Neurology):聽Dr Bush鈥檚 research is concerned with the mechanisms and dynamics of spatial learning and memory in the hippocampal formation. The grant has been awarded for his project, Direct Cortical Stimulation to Manipulate Human Memory Function.
Professor David Price, 香港六合彩中特网 Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement) said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted that 香港六合彩中特网 has received five ECR Consolidator Grants聽- the most of any UK institution along with the University of Cambridge.聽

鈥淐ongratulations to all our successful academics - I look forward to seeing the outcomes and solutions found as a result of these prestigious grants in future.鈥澛

The latest call for Consolidator Grants attracted 2652 applicants. The award recipients come from 24 EU Member States and associated countries, with a majority being from Germany (61), UK (41) and France (29).

President of the ERC Professor Maria聽Leptin said: 鈥淓ven in times of crisis and conflict and suffering, it is our duty to keep science on track and give our brightest minds free reign to explore their ideas.
鈥淲e do not know today how their work might revolutionise tomorrow - we do know that they will open up new horizons, satisfy our curiosity and most likely help us prepare for unpredictable future challenges.
鈥淪o, I am thrilled to see a new group of ERC grant winners funded for their scientific journey. I wish them the best of luck on their way to push the frontiers of our knowledge!鈥
