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.
