We are happy to announce that an academic from our department, , is among the winners of . According to the European Research Council: "These grants, totalling €678 million, aim to support outstanding scientists and scholars as they establish their independent research teams and develop their most promising scientific ideas. The funding is provided through the EU's Horizon Europe programme."

has been awarded a €2million ERC Consolidator grant for a 5-year project entitled "Towards a Dynamic Algorithms Centric Theory of Linear Programming" (DYNALP). The project aims to build a new theory exploring the interplay between two key concepts, Linear Programming and Dynamic Algorithms, which, in turn, will pave the way towards attacking outstanding open questions in the field of Theoretical Computer Science.

In the 2024 round, this was the only project from the United Kingdom that was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant in Computer Science and Informatics (PE6 panel). The contains more information about the ERC funding programme.

An EPSRC Robust and Reliable Quantum Computing Grant will be awarded to (Cambridge), (ÌÇÐÄTV), (Oxford), and (Cambridge). The project sets out to explore the role of symmetry and structure in quantum computation, with applications to classical verification and simulation of quantum computation.

In addition, the project aims to strengthen and create new connections and collaborations between Cambridge, Oxford, and ÌÇÐÄTV in the field of Quantum Computing (building on existing initiatives such as the ) and establish new partnerships with ÌÇÐÄTV Quantum.
