The European Research Council (ERC) has selected 478 researchers for this year's Starting Grants. Among them, 10 are from universities in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and three are FNRS researchers.
With a total budget of €761 million, these Starting Grants aim to support cutting-edge research in a wide range of fields, from life sciences and physics to social sciences and humanities. They will help early-career researchers launch their own projects, build their teams and pursue their most promising ideas. With more than €16 million awarded to French-speaking Belgian researchers, this is the best ERC result in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
Congratulations in particular to:
- Chloé MARTENS, FNRS Research associate at ULB
Funded project: Modulating Drug Transporters Dynamics to Improve Therapeutic Efficacy - Laurine CHOISEZ, FNRS Postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain
Funded project: Fe Fuel Particle Design for Renewable Energy Storage - Mateo LEGANES FONTENEAU, FNRS Postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain
