2014 Distinctions of ERC Grantees
Nobel Prize
Two of the Fields Medals in
2014 awarded to
researchers based in Europe:
Artur Avila "for his work in
dynamical systems” and to
Martin Hairer “for his work
on stochastic singularities”.
The Nobel Prize in Economic
Sciences 2014 was awarded to Jean
Tirole "for his analysis of market
power and regulation".
The Nobel Prize in
Physiology/Medicine 2014 was
awarded to May-Britt Moser and
Edvard Moser, together with John
O'Keefe,
"for their discoveries of cells that
constitute a positioning system in the
brain”.
The research leading to these
discoveries was supported by FP5.
