Takeaway from event held in the very hall where ERC was launched in 2007!
Voices from politics, industry & academia agree on need to raise EU budget for excellent R&I and keeping ERC’s independence & mission of funding bottom-up science.
Thank you Minister

R to @ERC_Research: 'By studying natural navigational systems, we can protect habitats.'
Marie Dacke believes similar systems exist for other insects, suggesting that insights from dung beetles may help explain why honeybees sometimes fail to return to their hives.
