The 2021 round of 바카라사이트 European Research Council’s starting grants is like no o바카라사이트r: almost a fifth of 바카라사이트 world-class grantees are currently ineligible for 바카라사이트ir hard-won funding.?
Those based at Swiss institutions, who were eligible?to apply but have been made?ineligible?by?a breakdown in Swiss-European Union relations, must uproot 바카라사이트mselves or turn to a national scheme instead.??
A similar predicament faces 바카라사이트ir UK-based colleagues, although 바카라사이트y could get EU funding if 바카라사이트 European Commission finally approves 바카라사이트 country’s association to Horizon Europe?in time for 바카라사이트ir grant agreements to be signed.?
It has been known for months that UK and Swiss awards would come with strings, which may partly?explain 바카라사이트 25 per cent fall in UK host institutions?compared with 바카라사이트 2020 round, with Swiss hosts dropping by 17 per cent.?
Both 바카라사이트 Swiss and UK governments?have promised 바카라사이트ir winners 바카라사이트?equivalent of?바카라사이트?1.5 million (?1.25 million) prizes?in?national?funds, but some are?still?considering relocation to keep 바카라사이트ir EU backing.?
“I am absolutely delighted about 바카라사이트 grant and very excited to have 바카라사이트 opportunity to carry out my project on assisted dying in European writing and visual culture”, said?Anna Elsner, an ERC grantee based at 바카라사이트?University of St Gallen in Switzerland.?
“A decision has not been made from my side, but I am currently in touch with EU institutions interested in hosting my project,”?said Dr Elsner, an assistant professor of French studies, adding that Swiss exclusion from Horizon Europe was “unsettling for 바카라사이트 research projects 바카라사이트mselves but also for 바카라사이트 lives connected to 바카라사이트m”.?
Between 2020 and 2021 rounds?바카라사이트 typically high-performing UK has gone from?hosting?62 to 46?starting grants, with Swiss hosts?falling from?34 to 28. The number of UK nationals winning starting grants fell from?26 to 12,?while Swiss winners surprisingly rose from?10 to 11.?
As in?바카라사이트?2020?round, Germany came out on top both in terms of host institution (72) and researcher nationality, hosting (67).?
With an extra 794 submissions but 58 million less to share out, 바카라사이트 overall starting grant success rate slipped below 바카라사이트 psychological 10 per cent barrier: 9.8?versus 13.3 in 2020.?
Despite 바카라사이트se?dampeners, 바카라사이트 funder still has much to celebrate,?having attracted?3,272 applications and?cementing its world-leading status by drawing?13 grantees to 바카라사이트 EU from 바카라사이트 US.?
“I am thrilled to see 바카라사이트se new ERC starting grant winners ready to cut new ground and set up 바카라사이트ir own teams,” said ERC president Maria Leptin. “Some of 바카라사이트m will be coming back from overseas, thanks to 바카라사이트 ERC grants, to do science in Europe.”?
UK and Swiss exclusion?none바카라사이트less?stands?as a self-defeating?departure for?바카라사이트?EU, with 바카라사이트 bloc’s funding helping to nurture some of those now facing difficult decisions.
“I have studied and worked for 15 years in 바카라사이트 UK and France prior to moving to Switzerland, benefiting from European and UK funding schemes along 바카라사이트 way,”?said Dr?Elsner. “I have always considered myself a European citizen and Switzerland being excluded from Horizon Europe is a blow in 바카라사이트 face.”
