2021/02/24 - 2022/02/23 | Online conference that has a lecture one a month for a year. The speakers all benefited from financial support in projects
approved by the European Research Council (ERC). The project focused the development of new and improved materials for diverse
applications. The speakers are invited to talk about the project itself, how they obtained the financial support and the struggles
of doing so and what the monetary reward allowed them to buy.
