Three ERC Advanced Grants 2024 winners for the Aix-Marseille site!
The European Commission has published the results of the ERC Advanced Grants 2024 call, one of Europe's most prestigious research funding instruments.
Among the 255 projects selected, three were led by researchers from the Aix-Marseille site, who benefited from dedicated support from the Mission Europe pour la Recherche (MER) throughout the application process.
Congratulations to the winners!!!
Christian Bénar - OPTIMEG Project🔬
INS Unit, Inserm
🔗 Project sheetThe
OPTIMEG project aims to develop a new generation of magnetoencephalography (MEG) sensors, to improve the accuracy of brain activity measurements. It aims to open up new perspectives in neuroscience, by combining technological innovations and advanced modeling.
Thomas Lecuit - Project GEOMORPHO🔬
Unité IBDM, CNRS
🔗 Project sheetWith
GEOMORPHO, Thomas Lecuit explores the physical principles underlying morphogenesis - the formation of biological forms. This interdisciplinary project links biology, physics and modeling to understand how living tissues structure themselves in space and time.
Arietta Papaconstantinou - IMPERIAL ENCOUNTER🔬
Unité L3AM, Aix-Marseille Université
🔗 Project sheetThe
IMPERIAL ENCOUNTER project focuses on the interactions between local populations and imperial powers in Late Antiquity. By cross-referencing written and material sources, it proposes a renewed reading of the imperial experience from the point of view of dominated societies.
