On September 24th, 2020, the Association of ERC Grantees was (soft-) launched on the occasion of an event titled "ERC of the future: Creating giant leaps for mankind" co-organized with the Friends of the ERC Initiative during the EU's Research and Innovation Days. For this event, we prepared the following clip that introduces the Association and briefly overviews its core goals. The Association (and this website) is a work in progress, but we very much hope you will join us, support us, and work with us as we endeavour to give voice, ambition, and possibility to European scientists!
