Commission has decided on, but not yet announced, next leader of European Research Council
The European Commission has decided who will be the next president of the European Research Council, a spokesperson for the ERC has confirmed. The prestigious role is a crucial one for reiterating to policymakers the importance of curiosity-driven research and the funding needed for it.
Separate from the official confirmation of the decision, a source close to the ERC told Research Professional News that the announcement of who has been chosen was due to be made this week, but has now been postponed to next week.
