The newly-nominated Scientific Council of the future European Research Council (ERC) has elected its Chairman, Prof Fotis Kafatos, and two Vice-Chairs Prof Helga Nowotny and Dr Daniel Estève. They have been elected by their peers, the 22 founding members of the Scientific Council, following a procedure agreed by them at their inaugural meeting on 19 October.
