The European network that funnels support to high-potential digital technology research, CHIST-ERA ERA-NET, has landed $100K in angel funding. The organization, a network of funding bodies across Europe and beyond, annually selects new topics and launches calls for transnational research projects, securing the capital to further its mission.
CHIST-ERA, launched in 2009 and backed by the EU's Horizon 2020 FET programme, has already invested approximately 65 M€ into 69 projects across 16 call topics. It enables researchers to collaborate internationally through projects of intermediate size with lean management, building on existing national granting schemes.
