The ERC grants belong to the most prestigious grants. They are intended for research which deepens the knowledge about the world and its aim is to support innovative research projects which will lead to disruptive discoveries and conclusions. Only three Poles managed to obtain them this year.

Jerzy Duszyński (the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences), prof. Eva Kondorosi (the European Research Council), prof. Michał Karoński (the Chair of the Council of the National Science Centre), prof. Jerzy Langer (the Polish Academy of Sciences) and prof. Karol Życzkowski (the Jagiellonian University).
