2.5M Euro award for Prof. Polly Arnold Congratulations to Prof. Polly Arnold who has been awarded an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council (ERC). The research programme, called f-ex (f-block hydrocarbon interactions: exploration; exploitation), is for a five-year, 2.5M euro, blue-skies research project designed to explore subtle bonding interactions in f-block complexes to improve our fundamental understanding of their bonding and reactivity. This is a highly competitive grant scheme, so this is a fantastic achievement for Polly! Publication date 03 May, 2017
