University of Glasgow researchers share in ¤544m ERC Advanced Grant funding
Two researchers from the College of Science & Engineering have won the backing of the European Research Council to support major new projects. Professor Daniele Faccio, of the School of Physics & Astronomy and Professor Roderick Murray-Smith, from the School of Computing Science, have been named today (Thursday 30 March 2023) as recipients of ERC Advanced Grants. ERC Advanced Grant funding is amongst the most prestigious and competitive EU funding schemes, providing researchers with the opportunity to pursue ambitious, curiosity-driven projects that could lead to major scientific breakthroughs. They are awarded to established, leading researchers with a proven track-record of significant research achievements over the past decade. A total of 218 projects led by researchers from across Europe will share in ¤544m (£479m) in the latest round of Advanced Grant awards. The funding will enable these researchers to explore their most innovative and ambitious ideas. Professor Faccio's project, called -Boson Sensing and Quantum Imaging for Complex Biological Systems-, will build upon his existing research in quantum imaging to create a new form of quantum neurophotonics.
