Move is part of global efforts to attract researchers dismayed by the funding chaos in the US
The European Research Council (ERC) has announced it is increasing its funding offer for scientists looking to relocate to Europe. The move comes as countries around the world look to capitalise on the chaos caused by the shake-up of research in the US by the Trump administration.
In addition to its standard grant schemes, the ERC offers ‘start-up’ funding to support new grantees as they make the move to Europe, set up a laboratory or research team and purchase necessary equipment.
