EU funds projects worth millions in chemistry, immunology and computer science Grants from the European Research Council (ERC) are highly coveted because they are hard to come by and provide funding in the millions of euros. At the University of Bonn, three scientists will receive such funding for the next five years. Junior Ala Bunescu works at the Kekulé Institute for Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry and is a member of the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) "Building Blocks of Matter and Fundamental Interactions" at the University of Bonn. An ERC Starting Grant will provide her with 1.5 million euros for her research over the next five years. The scientist is researching new strategies for tailor-made chemicals with lowest economic and ecological impacts as possible.
