ERC Starting Grant Projects

With its Starting Grants, the European Research Council supports talented early career researchers who already have an excellent research record.

Drohne

With his ERC Starting Grant, Nils Jansen is researching how artificial intelligence applications can become more reliable and safe.

Pinzette mit Materialsplitter

As part of her ERC Starting Grant, Anna Böhmer is researching specific electron states in superconductors. The recently discovered phenomenon raises many questions.

Tafelanschrieb

Michael Walter brings together research areas that, at first glance, have little to do with each other – ranging from algebra to quantum computing.

Felswand

Global satellite navigation systems enable the precise tracking of Earth movements. Professor Jonathan Bedford intends to tap this potential within the framework of an ERC grant.

Mikroskopische Aufnahme von Zellbestandteilen

Autophagy enables plants to degrade proteins and other cellular components. The grant focuses on the role this process plays in the interaction between plants and microbes.

Demonstration

We tend to notice the negative qualities of strangers more than the positive ones. Even if we don’t have any bad intentions.

Experiment

Kristina Tschulik’s team studies individual nanoparticles in order to use them as a model for optimized catalysts.

Mahlkugeln

Solvents make up a large percentage of the waste generated by the chemical industry. Lars Borchardt can do without them altogether.

Grafik der Ergebnisse

The ERC grant seeks to anticipate and govern the intricate dynamics of driven dissipative colloidal crystals that mirror characteristics of living organisms.

Tisch mit vielen Spiegeln

New sources of terahertz radiation should deliver previously unimagined insights into areas such as the behavior of water.
