The European Research Council (ERC) has unveiled the winners of its 2025 Advanced Grants, awarding €838 million to 319 leading researchers across Europe. These prestigious grants empower senior scientists to pursue high-risk, high-reward research with the potential to deliver groundbreaking discoveries.

Funded under the EU’s multi-billion research programme Horizon Europe, the grants support ambitious and curiosity-driven projects spanning diverse fields, from medicine and neuroscience to mathematics and quantum physics.

The new grantees’ work will cover a wide range of subjects, such as vulnerability to drug addiction, women’s fertility and health, and stuttering. Other fields of research include the development of new mathematical and algorithmic tools to tackle the growing complexity of large-scale networks, from transport systems to the internet, as well as magnets and quantum materials.

A press release is available online.
