Three Sweden-based researchers in teams funded by ERC Synergy grants
It has now been decided who will get an ERC Synergy Grant 2020. The grant is aimed at researchers who join up to four other researchers to work in synergy to jointly solve a research question. In total, 34 synergy teams are sharing more than 350 million EUR. Three of them include researchers with Swedish host institutions
This year’s call saw particularly fierce competition: Out of 440 applications, 34 are being funded, compared with last year’s 37 approved applications out of 285. The next call is expected to open in 2022.

ERC-funded research often leads to breakthroughs
The ERC funds leading edge research in all scientific fields with large amounts of money every year – but what does the research lead to? An independent evaluation published recently shows that around 80 percent of the research projects reviewed have led to scientific breakthroughs or major scientific advances. The result confirms previous evaluations.
