These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.
My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.
We found 437 of them.

Another way to read these numbers is that the ERC is massively under-funded. The EU could double the ERC budget three times, and even if the average return on grants halved each time you expanded, you'd still be making a profit.
"80% of projects funded by the European Research Council have led to scientific breakthroughs or major advances."
Report on the EU's current R&I funding programme - which is already half way through its term.

Today, two reviewers on a grant panel told me that my publication record (10 corresponding authors in 11 years) and my number of citations (13,500, h index 36) as a PI were lower than expected. This funding organization specifically asked reviewers not to consider metrics, but only quality. 😬

There is a dynamic and collaborative process for generating ideas in night science:
1. building on each other’s ideas using a "yes, and…" approach,
2. constantly being open to reframing our questions, and
3. reminding ourselves that many new principles must still be discovered!
