FWF/Klaus Ranger - As part of the initiative "excellence=Austria", the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) funds pioneering work in fundamental research. Two ISTA professors are part of the so-called Emerging Fields teams: biochemist and cell biologist Florian Schur in the "EvoChromo" project, which investigates the origins of life, and neuroscientist Gaia Novarino in the "Brain Resilience" project, which aims to strengthen the brain's capability to remain healthy despite mutations. The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) provides 31 million Euro for innovative ideas "to further expand areas of strength at Austria's research institutions." On Tuesday, March 12, 2024, FWF President Christof Gattringer presented the five Emerging Fields teams and their projects, in which around one hundred researchers from thirteen institutions are participating. The international jury evaluated the proposals according to their "groundbreaking innovation potential." Two research groups from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) are part of the initiative. Strengthen the resilience of the brain.
