Commission appoints new member to the Scientific Council of the European Research Council
Today, the European Commission appointed one new member to the governing body of the European Research Council (ERC), the Scientific Council. Torsten Persson, a Swedish economist and distinguished professor at the Institute for International Economic Studies, Stockholm University, is appointed for an initial period of four years and will take office on 1 January 2024.

Iliana Ivanova, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, said: 

"I welcome Torsten Persson to the Scientific Council of the European Research Council and congratulate Gerd Gigerenzer and Milena Žic Fuchs for the renewal of their term. I also thank the outgoing Vice-President Eveline Crone for her important contribution to the ERC work. The eminent scientists and scholars on the ERC’s governing body contribute to the Council’s pivotal role in supporting Europe’s excellent frontier research that in turn often spurs innovation".
