Denmark receives DKK 33 million in extra grants from the European Research Council
Mar 15, 2016
The three research grants from the ERC
The three extra grants have been appointed to young research scientists conducting their research in Denmark. The scientists are affiliated with the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark.
The research conducted by Aoife Daly is concerned with timber as construction material, as a commodity and as a resource in short supply, as well as an indicator for a trade contract between regions in Northern Europe. She receives 11 DKK million from the European Research Council for the project ‘Northern Europe's timber resource - chronology, origin and exploitation’. Through studies of archival material and a focused analysis of historic wood, Aoife will shed light on the trade of timber in the ancient Northern Europe. The project combines historical knowledge, archeology, dendrochronology as well as the development of new methods of analysis targeted at uncovering the trade of wood across Europe in a period of six centuries from 1100 to 1700. The project will equip us with a deeper understanding of the development in the widespread trade with this important resource in the Northern Europe in the course of time. |
Luis Ignacio Toledo Lazaro, Postdoc from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Protein Research, receives 11 DKK million from the European Research Council for the project ‘Dissecting the constraints that define the eukaryotic DNA replication program’. Luis: “With this project we want to explore new dimensions of DNA replication. We will investigate how the biological limitations of human cells influence DNA replication and how these can be exploited to develop new treatment strategies for cancer." Read more
