This year it has assigned the first Starting Grants designed to boost the careers of researchers, who may be working in any area of science or scholarship, at the time they are establishing themselves as independent research leaders. The successful candidates represent over 30 nationalities and are based in some 170 host institutions in 21 different countries.
