The European Commission appointed three eminent scientists: including Professor László Lovász, the PI for the Dynasnet project, along with Professor Chryssa Kouveliotou and Professor Giovanni Sartor as new members of the governing body of the European Research Council (ERC), the Scientific Council. They are appointed for an initial period of four years.
The new members have been selected by an independent Identification Committee, composed of six distinguished scientists appointed by the European Commission and chaired by Prof. Carl-Henrik Heldin. The selection process involved consultations with the scientific community.
On this occasion, Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said: "The ERC Scientific Council is composed of some of the most eminent European scientists and scholars to govern Europe’s premier frontier research funding organisation. I warmly welcome the three new members who bring outstanding scientific competence that will complement the expertise of the sitting members."
