Sharing science: towards new horizons

Transport research encompasses a wide variety of topics in areas ranging from transportation science and technology, impact assessment of transport on environment and health, to the transport policy. The overall aim today is to improve transport infrastructure, vehicles and operations, while reducing its environmental footprint and integrating societal aspects, for example user behaviour, traffic planning and urban design. This…

Annual Report on the ERC activities and achievements in 2017

The European Research Council (ERC) is the first pan-European funding body designed to support investigator-driven frontier research and stimulate scientific excellence across Europe. Under the EU research programme 'Horizon 2020', the ERC has a total budget of over €13 billion for the period 2014-2020 available for individual researchers. The ERC aims to support the best and most creative scientists to identify and explore new…

From Master degree to advanced stages of career, the European Union funds outstanding researchers from all over the world to develop their potential in Europe.

The contribution of frontier research to the understanding of human mobility across frontiers

Computational and systems biology are interdisciplinary sciences that have been greatly advancing in the last decades by harnessing the increased power of computation and mathematics. Their aim is to apply large-scale computational and numerical methods to the fields of molecular, cellular and structural biology, in order to answer emerging biological questions that were not possible to tackle with traditional approaches. The…

The Workshop is intended to showcase relevant research on Climate Change and Climate Action supported by the ERC under Horizon 2020 and FP7, to provide a forum of networking between Principal Investigators leading ERC-funded projects, and to position ERC as a contributor to ‘climate action’ through its ‘bottom up’ approach.

Annual Report on the ERC activities and achievements in 2016

The European Research Council has supported more than 200 research projects so far focused on the study of the human past - history and archaeology. In this brochure, we are presenting a small selection of ERC-funded research in this domain showing the depth and breadth of the grantees’ scholarships.
