This year, four Utrecht researchers will receive an ERC Consolidator Grant of approximately 2 million euros each. With these grants from the European Union, they can further consolidate their independent research teams and pursue their most promising scientific ideas.
Our recent symposium brought together researchers, policymakers, innovators, and industry to explore how marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) could develop responsibly in the coming decades.
For ~300,000 years, the same craft endures - perhaps revealing the roots of one of our oldest habits: using technology to steady ourselves against change
