Out of 3,474 applicants, the ERC has selected 494 researchers for this year's Starting Grants. Of these, 22 are from Belgian universities, 4 from universities in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles and 2 are permanent researchers at the FNRS.
The Starting Grant, worth a total of almost €780 million, supports cutting-edge research in a wide range of fields, from life sciences and physics to social sciences and the humanities. It will help early-career researchers launch their own projects, build their teams and pursue their most promising ideas.
