Kathrin Fenner is awarded ERC Consolidator Grant

January 14, 2014 | Andri Bryner

Kathrin Fenner from Eawag’s department of Environmental Chemistry has been awarded a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council (ERC). The grant of around two million euros will allow her to carry out research over a period of five years within the framework of the PROduCTS project. The research aims to enable forecasting of microbial degradation of pollutants under specific environmental conditions.

The Consolidator Grant is intended to prevent the loss of research talent in Europe and to support the education of the next generation of leading researchers. In order to receive an ERC Consolidator Grant, researchers must therefore have already demonstrated their potential for scientific independence and maturity. As an international expert in her field, it was the scientific calibre of her research that won Kathrin Fenner the attention of the selection committee.
