ERC publications

In this brochure, the ERC presents several examples of excellent research conducted in Central and Eastern Europe. The projects featured address various challenges: from discovering novel types of antibiotics, developing innovative biochips that detect diseases or new techniques for weather predictability, to decoding the attitudes of citizens towards public goods.

More than 200 research projects have been funded for a total budget of over € 250 million. About 15% of the projects funded in life sciences have a strong neuroscience component. Many of these projects address research and public health challenges and explore emerging areas in neurosciences. Questions addressed by some ERC projects deal for instance with memory and information coding in the brain, genesis and repair of the nervous…

Annual Report on the ERC activities and achievements in 2012

Many ERC projects in the Geosciences address key societal challenges. The projects presented in this brochure are investigating the role of organic aerosols in climate change and air pollution, the long-term management of forests in the preservation of the ecosystem, microscopic processes that govern the flow of magma in volcanic eruptions, the development of a new 3 dimensional model of the Earth’s mantle or the monitoring of the…

Supporting Top Women in Frontier Research

Many ERC-funded projects in this field address fundamental issues, such as the roots of food globalisation in prehistory, mobility of people and ideas during the Bronze Age, urban diversification in global cities across the years, the prediction of people’s response to water disasters, or the historical dimensions of herding practices in Europe.

Many of these projects address public health challenges and emerging areas in neurosciences for example: projects that deal with memory, information coding and processing in the brain, genesis and repair of the nervous system, neuronal circuits in drug addiction, cell and gene therapy for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases or computation models for man-machine interaction.
