ERC Grants and Nobel Prize at the University of Vienna
The funding of pioneering basic research is one of the priorities of the European Union. To this end, the European Research Council (ERC) has been established. To receive support, research projects must have a high potential for innovation. 139 ERC grants have already been awarded to researchers of the University of Vienna since 2007.
In October 2022, the university congratulated Anton Zeilinger on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics.
"The numerous grants demonstrate the international competitiveness of the University of Vienna and show nicely that our University is continuing its successful course in cutting-edge research."
