The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is joining the Earth Hour, a global movement that, once a year, reminds us that nature is the planet’s life support and highlights the environmental emergency that requires collective action.

IAC researcher David Aguado has obtained a prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC), aimed at promoting promising young scientists. This is the third ERC grant -one of the most competitive and recognized of the Horizon Europe program- that the center has received so far this year, thus consolidating its international projection. These highly competitive grants provide up to €1.5 million over five years to support outstanding young scientists in establishing their own independent research groups and pursuing pioneering scientific ideas.
