Vincent Pilloni, CNRS researcher at UMPA (CNRS/ENS de Lyon), is one of the recipients of the 2018 ERC Consolidator grants with the HiCoShiVa project (Higher coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties).

ERC Consolidator Grants support promising researchers who are at the beginning of an independent research career. The consolidation of their own research team will be funded with the grant.
For the evaluation of the researcher profile several benchmarks according to research domain and career development are taken into account. For instance, applicants should have several important publications without their PhD supervisor. Other benchmarks include publications as first author in high-ranking international journals, (translated) monographs, patents, conference presentations or (inter)national prizes and awards.
