The European Research Council (ERC) will support about 300 independent investigators for five years as a result of its first competition for Starting Grants. More than a third will likely come from the life sciences and more than 20% of those are already part of the network of EMBO Young Investigators.
Designed to boost the careers of researchers at the time they are establishing themselves as independent research leaders, ERC Starting Grants will greatly enhance the work of young investigators.
Congratulations to the following EMBO Young Investigators and recipients of EMBO Installation Grants awarded ERC Starting Grants:
