School Professor Honoured by French Invitation
Agence Nationale de le Recherche (ANR) is France’s main research grant awarding body. Prof. Roger Green was amongst specially invited panel members in their recent funding round, at which a budget of over €140M was assigned. His fellow panel members were drawn from major institutions and companies across the world, including Harvard University and MIT, and Prof. Green was the sole representative from Warwick.
Each project awarded through the body has an average value of €7M, hence the rigorous panel process. Each sub-group of panellists meet for 2-3 days on two occasions to rank and discuss bids. Prof. Green felt “honoured to be part of this system, which has such an strong influence over engineering futures in France.”
