EspLORE for independency of ERC

After the recent resignation of the scientist Mauro Ferrari as President of the European Research Council (ERC) we want to reaffirm independency of ERC. We signed the petition together with more than 300 italian ERC grantees to support ERC as the only European agency that finances research based on a Bottom-up approach, solely based on the ideas coming from the proponents.
