For their projects, two researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) receive a Consolidator Grant each of the European Research Council (ERC). Dr. Tonya Vitova, in her project "The Actinide Bond," studies actinide bonds with innovative spectroscopic methods to better understand the environmental behavior of these elements. Professor Laurent Schmalen, in his project "RENEW," works on reducing the complexity and energy consumption of communication systems and on making them more efficient and environmentally friendly. In the next five years, both projects will be funded by the ERC with up to EUR 2 million each.
