Hello world! We seek to unite all Italian ERC winners in a non-profit association, ERC in Italy, to promote fundamental and frontier research in Italy. Visit ercinitaly.eu

Congratulations to all new ERC grantees! 🎊 Italian grantees (58) are second by nationality, but Italy is lagging in terms of grants hosted (28). We are working to increase the latter figure and to make Italy more and more attractive. #ERC #ERCStG

L’associazione ERC in Italy è nata con uno scopo ben preciso: allungare la la barra arancione.
