The Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH) has announced the eight winners of this year's applications for the Frontline – Research Excellence Program. Six of these are projects led by an ELKH researcher, while the total value of the grants awarded exceeds HUF 1.6 billion.
The Frontline – Research Excellence Program provides up to five years of support to first class researchers in the most dynamic creative phase and who wish to carry out cutting-edge international research at a Hungarian research site. The goal of the program is to provide talented researchers with an opportunity to work on a world-class research project in Hungary over the next five years that will help them to successfully participate in call for proposals announced by the European Research Council (ERC).
