The ERC MOREV is about Motivated Reading of Evidence (or why/how individuals sometimes read evidence in the way they "prefer" ?) 

Start date of the grant is February 2020. 

You can get a rough idea of the project on the Sciences Po website : https://www.sciencespo.fr/research/cogito/home/when-the-truth-is-inconvenient-or-motivating-reading-of-information/?lang=en

CNRS also mentions it: https://inshs.cnrs.fr/fr/personne/jeanne-hagenbach-0
