News of the day
EU-funded scientist wins 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Benjamin List, two-fold grantee of the European Research Council (ERC), has been awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis. He shares the award with David W.C. MacMillan. Professor List’s work in this field has been funded for a decade by two ERC Advanced Grants. Yesterday, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi, two scientists who also received funding from the EU, were awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics. They won the prize jointly with Syukuro Manabe for their groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex physical systems.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said:
"Another happy day for European science! After yesterday’s news on the Physics prize, another great mind, Benjamin List, wins the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He has been backed by the EU for over a decade through two individual European Research Council grants. Congratulations to both laureates on winning one of the highest accolades in the world of science.”
