Wow. At my university group, we're continuously trying really hard to get funding for our research, where we ask for less than 1 percent of that budget. It's really, really hard to get because the landscape is quite competitive. But such a project, if we'd ever get one, could fund a co-worker and me for three years plus a bunch of partners at other universities.

3.7m euros would last 3 years? That seems... quite expensive.

It does, that's why typically we only ask for less than that in our grant proposals.
