European Research Council (ERC)

The latest batch of EU grants includes the 2000th project to receive ERC Proof of Concept funding: #DeepSpacePULSE from Nanda Rea, which aims to create a new space navigation system.👇 Prof Rea, an astrophysicist working at CSIC and the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC) in Spain, will manage this milestone project. She and her team will use the funding to test the viability of a new navigation system, to be used to guide exploratory spacecraft (such as satellites) on long-term deep-space missions. This system will leverage the GPS attributes of pulsar stars to create a small, light, autonomous navigation unit which aims to be competitive in both the public and private space markets.

🧠 Bernhard Spitzer's research on how the brain stores information could lead to treatments for those struggling with everyday tasks. Using eye-tracking, brain scans, and non-invasive techniques, his team aims to decipher working memory's neural underpinnings. Next, they'll analyse data from electrodes in non-human primates' brains to understand memory at the single-cell level. “We hope to better understand how working memory provides the right info at the right time,” says Spitzer. 👉 https://bit.ly/3RPOAj4 EU Science, Research and Innovation Max Planck Society #FrontierResearch #ERCAdG
