ERC funding covers research projects at different stages of a researcher’s career and enables, for example, projects involving several experts who join forces to research completely new areas. Below, researchers provide a glimpse into some of their projects – whether it is internet security, research into the desert climate, the social behaviour of chimpanzees, or new approaches to protein design.
