Four researchers from the University of Bern are awarded EU research prizes

Four of the highly-regarded "ERC Consolidator Grants", the research prizes of the European Research Council (ERC), have been awarded to researchers at the University of Bern. This reflects the excellence of the research in Bern - especially in the fields of medicine, as well as in space and climate research. With an ERC Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), outstanding researchers are provided with support in the development of, or the continuation of, their own research team at a public or private research institute in either an EU member state or an associated country. The ERC Consolidator Grants support excellent researchers who can demonstrate an impressive previous record of achievement and are interested in creating their own research groups. With a value of approximately 2 million euros, the "ERC Consolidator Grant" is exceptionally generous, and is awarded for a time frame of five years. Confirmation of excellent research. All of the candidates at the University of Bern who submitted a research project at the European Research Council were awarded the highly regarded research prize.
