The IAC researcher Elena Khomenko has managed to win an European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant, whose purpose is to support projects of world-wide scientific excellence, which will allow her to carry out pioneering research for 5 years on the magnetic activity of the most puzzling region of the solar atmosphere, the chromosphere. This is the second time that the European Research Council has awarded an ERC grant to this astrophysicist, who had previously been given an ERC Starting Grant in 2011.
