SARS-CoV-2: Exceptional Research Projects of the FNRS
The Fund For Scientific Research-FNRS has just decided to fund 13 Exceptional Research Projects (PER) for a total of €3 million to support research investments aimed at better understanding SARS-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19 disease.
T
his funding complements the €1 million allocated last June to support 21 scientific projects via Urgent Research Credits (CUR). The FNRS has thus invested a total of €4 million euros since the beginning of the pandemic to support research against the coronavirus.
Four of these projects are coordinated by researchers from ULiège.
