The European Research Council says its first batch of proposals from older scientists was excellent, with a broad range of nationalities – but not enough women.

The European Research Council opened its doors on 1 January as Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker stepped into his new post of Secretary General.

The European Research Council has confirmed that its first grants will be targeted at young researchers with between two and eight years' postdoctoral experience.
