✨ Reading the history of the universe in atoms from cosmic explosions: EU awards HZDR researcher prestigious multi-million-euro research grant The European Research Council (ERC)-council has today announced the winners of its latest Advanced Grant competition. The funding, worth €838 million, will go to 319 leading researchers across Europe. The Advanced Grants give senior researchers the opportunity to pursue ambitious, curiosity-driven projects that could lead to major scientific breakthroughs. Among the awardees in the Physical Sciences and Engineering domain is Prof. Anton Wallner from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), whose project #SUPREME has been awarded €3 million to reconstruct the history of nearby cosmic explosions over the past 500 million years and shed light on how nature creates its heaviest elements. 🎉 👏 #ERCAdG Image: Oliver Killig/HZDR
