The ERC funds top researchers in Europe, of any nationality, helping them pursue great ideas at frontiers of knowledge.
About us
Set up in 2007 by the European Union, the European Research Council (ERC) aims to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by encouraging competition for funding between the very best, creative researchers of any nationality and age from anywhere in the world. As part of Horizon Europe, the EU programme for research and innovation for 2021 to 2027, the ERC has a total budget of over €16 billion. The ERC has an 'investigator-driven', 'bottom-up' approach, which allows researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Life Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities). On the sole basis of excellence, the ERC provides attractive long-term funding to individual top scientists and their teams to pursue ground-breaking research. The funded projects are expected to lead to scientific advances and to set clear and inspirational targets for frontier research across the world. By supporting the brightest minds, the ERC grants help to bring about new and unpredictable scientific and technological discoveries in Europe.

¡Feliz Fiesta Nacional, España! La inteligencia artificial es una caja negra. Sabemos la información que escribimos, observamos el texto que nos devuelve, comprobamos su corrección o su utilidad, pero no tenemos ni idea de cómo lo ha hecho. ¿Cómo ha conseguido darnos esa respuesta? La cuestión es que sus creadores tampoco consiguen averiguarlo; y el resto de la comunidad científica está vetada, dado que la empresa tecnológica no desvela el código base de su creación. Sin embargo, Noelia Ferruz, química especialista en bioinformática, ha recibido una beca del ERC para solucionar este problema. ¿Cuál es su objetivo? Crear una inteligencia artificial pública, abierta y capaz de explicarse a sí misma. Se llamará Athena. Lo más difícil del proyecto no será crear este agente, sino entenderle. Sin embargo, este representa un paso más hacia una inteligencia más parecida a la humana. Diario EL PAÍS 👉 https://bit.ly/4dZ4bW1 #FrontierResearch Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)

Do you remember the first image of a black hole, released in 2019? Scientists will now use supercomputing hardware and a new radio telescope in Namibia to create a #RealBlackHole film. Its motion should enable much more precise measurement of the black hole’s mass, just like we can calculate the mass of the Sun by watching the planets and how they orbit around the centre of the Solar System. The direction of its plasma will also reveal the orientation of the orbiting material as it slowly loses energy and spirals inward. It might even be possible to see a star being torn apart by the black hole if it ventures too close! This research is funded by an ERC Synergy Grant to Heino Falcke of Radboud University, Sera Markoff of the University of Amsterdam and Rob Fender of the University of Oxford.

Dung beetles are nature’s master navigators, skillfully using celestial cues like the sun, moon, stars, and even wind to steer in straight lines - crucial for transporting dung away from competitors. Professor of Sensory Biology Marie Dacke is studying their remarkable internal compass. By combining biology, bioinformatics, and AI, Dacke and her team are uncovering how these beetles adapt to their environments, helping us better understand navigation systems across species and even inspire new technologies. 🚀🔍 Curious to learn how these tiny creatures are changing what we know about navigation? 👉 https://bit.ly/3BOIuKw #FrontierResearch Lund University #SensoryBiology #AI #Biodiversity #EUfunded EU Environment and Climate

"Cities are increasingly adopting green & blue infrastructure strategies for multiple benefits e.g. climate, health, and biodiversity" commented Francesc Baró, speaking at #EURegionsWeek. He also noted the green paradox that could contribute to gentrification or segregation.

Asteroids, comets and meteors are remnants of our cosmic past. Pierre Beck of the Université Grenoble Alpes has pioneered new analytical techniques that could help us better understand what they are made of. What’s more, this information could provide vital insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system. #WorldSpaceWeek #FrontierResearch EU Science, Research and Innovation
