Funding
The members of the Institute of Astrophysics are able to attract competitive funding from various sources in order to support their research. We are proud to host, among our six permanent researchers, two recipients of the highly competitive ERC Consolidator grands (of the 3 that have been awarded in area of Astronomy in Greece). Since 2014 the members of the Institute have been awarded a total of 5.6 MEuros of new funding. A detailed list of all grands received over the past 15 years is listed bellow.
