European Research Council grants
The European Research Council (ERC) was set up by the European Commission. It provides funding for top researchers in order to promote basic research and visionary projects, and to enable new interdisciplinary fields to be explored.
About half of FAU’s ERC grants have been awarded to members of the Faculty of Sciences.
