User:Alban/List of European Research Council grants awarded to German institutions

Researchers in Austria have been quite successful in winning grants of the European Research Council (ERC). These recently established grants have immediately gained high recognition due to their competitive nature. There are two types of grants, the ERC Advanced Grant for established researchers with a typical funding of 2,5 Mio. EUR and the ERC Starting Grant for promising young researchers with a typical funding of 1,5 Mio. EUR. At the moment 47 researchers in Austria have received one of the two types of grants. Besides of six grants to universities in Innsbruck and one grant to both Graz and Klagenfurt, all grants have been awarded to researchers in Vienna (or close by such as IST Austria and IIASA). The current ERC President Helga Nowotny is from Austria.
