Clone of PSL Researchers awarded ERC Consolidator Grants in 2021
On March 17, 2022, the European Research Council released the list of 313 researchers who won the ERC Consolidator Grant 2020 call for proposals. Among the winners, two scientists work in laboratories run by Université PSL.
The ERC Consolidator Grant is an highly competitive grant, worth approximately €2 million, awarded for 5 years to exploratory research projects on an innovative theme. It supports experienced scientists (7 to 12 years after their doctorate) and promising candidates who wish to build or consolidate their research teams.
Below are the scentists who work in PSL labs and who won the ERC Consolidator Grants Call for Proposals in 2021:
- Elie HACHEM, project CURE - Controlling Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms, Centre de mise en forme des matériaux, Cemef Mines Paris – PSL
