30% of the SFSG fellows have been awarded ERC grants

Our aim is that more researchers in Sweden will apply for – and be awarded – the prestigious grants from the ERC.

 

Since the start of SFSG ten of our fellows have been awarded ERC grants, three of them even twice. We note that the fellows have not only been successful in receiving individual grants (starting and consolidator grants) but have also received funding for international collaborations (synergy grants). We believe that this is a good result given that the competition for ERC funding is very tough.

 

The following fellows have received ERC grants.

• Andreas Dahlin (SFSG 2017) was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2020.
