ERC Starting Grants for six ETH researchers
Six researchers at ETH Zurich have been awarded European Research Council Starting Grants, each receiving up to 1.5 million euros for five years. The grants cover diverse fields including artificial intelligence, robotics, biomedicine, chemistry, and statistics, and represent a small fraction of the 450 grants awarded across Europe. The projects aim to advance fundamental science and develop new technologies such as AI language model theory, soft tissue scaffolds, and novel chemical materials.
