Helmholtz successful to win ERC Starting Grants
The current call for proposals for ERC Starting Grants was another success for Helmholtz: a total of 13 grants were acquired directly by researchers for the Helmholtz Centres. The ERC awarded 494 grants, 97 of which went to Germany.
The ‘Starting Grants’ funding line is aimed at researchers at the beginning of their careers and is funded with up to 1.5 million euros over a period of five years.
