The European Research Council - celebrating 15 years of support for excellent frontier research

The European Research Council has reached another milestone on its journey from an embryonic idea to a fully-fledged research funding organisation. Created by the EU in February 2007, the ERC has come a long way since then, with over 10,000 bright minds supported across Europe. It’s time to put the spotlight on how the ERC was brought to life and what has been achieved so far.

On the occasion of this anniversary and under the auspices of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) holds an event on Monday 28 February - to the day fifteen years after the ERC’s inaugural event was held in Berlin.
