Four researchers from the University of Basel receive ERC Consolidator Grants
The European Research Council (ERC) awards Consolidator Grants to support excellent project ideas from advanced researchers. Those who succeed in the competition for these coveted grants are among the best in their respective fields of research. Four scientists from the University of Basel have now been awarded ERC grants.
From artificial intelligence to memory and from gene regulation to treatments for blindness: four projects at the University of Basel will each receive around EUR 2 million over a five-year period to pave the way for new discoveries. The four successful researchers will be able to expand their own research group, pursue long-term projects and foster international collaborations.
After a several-year hiatus, the calls for proposals for ERC Consolidator Grants reopened to researchers in Switzerland in 2025. 3121 researchers from across Europe applied for one of these grants. Only 349 applications were ultimately successful.
