EU funding for young engineering researchers

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) receives special recognition for excellent research in the engineering sciences: The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded future funding to three projects from the TUM Department of Informatics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with ERC Starting Grants. The research projects focus on image processing, data security and cyber-physical systems. Each year the European Research Council supports future-oriented research projects with substantial ERC Grants, awarded in various categories. Starting Grants are intended for early-career scientists and are endowed with as much as € 1.5 million. The latest awards bring the total number of ERC grants received by TUM to 93.
