Three new ERC Consolidator recipients on the Aix-Marseille site.

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded 349 mid-career researchers with ERC Consolidator (CoG) grants this year. With total funding of €728 million, these grants aim to support scientific excellence in all disciplines.

Within the Aix-Marseille site, 3 researchers have benefited from the ERC-CoG-2025:

Sarah Moyon - Institut de NeurophysioPathologie (INP)

  • Panel: LS5Acronym
  • : EpiGliaProject
  • : Epigenetic reactivation of oligodendroglial cells in Alzheimer's disease

Rejane Rua - Centre d'Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML)

  • Panel: LS5Acronym
  • : BAMneuroProject
  • : Role of Border-Associated Macrophages in neurocognition

Savvas Zafeiropoulos - Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT)

  • Panel: PE2Acronym
  • : HADaSTRaLSProject
  • : From 1D to 3D Hadron Structure with exascale lattice QCD simulations

Congratulations to our 3 winners for the funding of their respective projects! This support from ERC-CoG 2025 is a valuable recognition of their work and a catalyst for future discoveries. Thanks to these grants, they will have the means to push scientific research towards new horizons, build up their teams, develop innovative methodology and open up new perspectives in their disciplines.

These grants also testify to Europe's ongoing commitment to encouraging scientific innovation and academic excellence.

Congratulations once again to the winners, and to all the teams involved!
