European Research Council Grants

The European Research Council (ERC) grants support top researchers who are selected for their innovative ideas for future research as well as for the exceptional quality of their previous work. These grants exclusively support scientific quality and have a success rate of around 10% of all submitted applications. NOVA FCT has obtained 17 ERC Grants, fact which proves well the excellence of our Faculty.
