14 ERC “Proof of Concept” Projects go to Spain
Spain gets 14 Proof of Concept ERC Grants
Worth up to €150,000 per grant, ‘Proof of Concept’ funding helps ERC grant holders to bridge the gap between their existing frontier research and its commercial applications. This top-up funding will enable the scientists to cover costs of technical validation, create a start-up to explore business opportunities, or establish intellectual property rights, for example.
Among the Spanish winners is Fernando Moreno-Herero (National Center of Biotechnology, CNB, CSIC, Madrid), SBE member and SBE – 40, 2014 awardee.
