From 24 to 27 January 2019, the ERC will bring eight of its ERCcOMICS inspired on #EUfunded research to the the Angoulême International Comic Festival, an annual must-see event where renowned comic artists and publishing houses present their latest releases.
In some western countries, graphic storytelling was in the past delegated to the comic strips covering overlooked back pages of the newspaper. In recent years it has become increasingly recognised as an important visual art form with the ability to communicate complex ideas. Comics engage not only children but also the curious and young at heart, whatever age they may be. There is considerable competition in the comics sector and to win recognition in the field one needs to earn a place at one of the international festivals devoted to this particular art. This year, ERCcOMICS is invited to the prestigious Angoulême International Comic Festival , an important achievement for this original adventure in communication, funded by the ERC since 2015.
Join us at the 46th edition of #FIBD19 -and get your copy of our freshly printed comic at the ERCcOMICS stand: “Le Monde des bulle”s, Place du Champ de Mars!
The European Research Council (ERC) is part of the EU's Seventh Research Framework Programme (FP7). It is set up by the European Commission to support investigator-driven frontier research and was established in February 2007 on the basis of the FP7 IDEAS specific programme, with a total budget of 7.5 billion Euro (2007-2013).
Its main aim is to stimulate scientific excellence in Europe by supporting and encouraging the very best, truly creative scientists, scholars and engineers, who are invited to submit their individual proposals in any field of research.
