As part of the French Presidency of the European Union (FPEU), the Collège de France, the European Research Council (ERC) and the CNRS will be celebrating the 15th anniversary of the European Research Council on Monday, February 28, 2022.
The ERC embodies the excellence of European research and represents a decisive asset for exploratory research in all fields of science in Europe. The results of the ERC's fifteen years of existence demonstrate the value of this scheme, which has strengthened European research by providing substantial resources for the best researchers.
The celebration of the ERC's fifteenth anniversary, organized by the CNRS in partnership with the European Research Council and the Collège de France, which hosts several ERCs, will provide an opportunity to discuss the role of excellence in fundamental research, including in the context of major European challenges, from societal aspects to disruptive innovation.
