How plants defend themselves

For decades, plant antiviral defence was thought to rely on a single RNA interference system. Peter Brodersen’s research shows two layers instead: a silent, near-perfect defence, and a costly emergency response when it fails. Together, these layers…

Frontier research for One Health
Frontier research for One Health
The ERC-funded projects in One Health featured in this report illustrate how frontier research informs bold policy, sparks innovation, and builds systems capable of anticipating crises rather than merely reacting to them. These projects translate cutting-edge science into tangible societal impact, take discoveries to the decision-making table, and leverage ERC research to create a healthier future.
