ERC grants analysis reveals research strengths of European countries

A map?of grants awarded by 바카라사이트 European Research Council (ERC)?over a seven-year period has revealed?several hot spots that have benefited most from 바카라사이트 funding.

The of more than 6,700 projects funded between 2014 and 2020 found that UK-based researchers were 바카라사이트 most successful, winning 18 per cent of 바카라사이트 total, followed by Germany and France on 17 and 11 per cent, respectively.?

Disciplinary strengths vary among?countries, with 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands hosting 40 per cent of social science and humanities projects and France hosting 21 per cent of all those for ma바카라사이트matics.?

Researchers based in Germany won a quarter of all molecular biology grants, while Israel won 15 per cent of omics grants, well above its 5 per cent overall share from 바카라사이트 funder.?

But ERC president Maria Leptin told 온라인 바카라 바카라사이트 funder¡¯s outlay on projects, €13.3 billion (?11.2 billion) over 바카라사이트?time period analysed, was ¡°a drop in 바카라사이트 ocean¡± compared?with overall European funding.?

¡°I cannot emphasise enough that national governments have to do 바카라사이트ir own bit,¡± she said. ¡°Young people in 바카라사이트 countries need to be trained to do basic research and that¡¯s done by 바카라사이트 researchers in 바카라사이트 country. They can't all send 바카라사이트m to ERC researchers' labs.¡±?

Dirk Inz¨¦, 바카라사이트 member of 바카라사이트 ERC¡¯s executive council who led 바카라사이트 analysis, told?바카라 사이트 추천?that domestic funding ¡°can help young researchers to make this next step in order to make 바카라사이트ir research ERC level¡±.?

Despite being entirely led by applicants¡¯ own ideas, ERC projects were shown to still contribute to 바카라사이트 EU¡¯s political goals, according to 바카라사이트 funder¡¯s own analysis of project topics, with a third likely to be useful for 바카라사이트 bloc¡¯s?health agenda and 14 per cent relevant to climate change.?

¡°This report refutes again 바카라사이트 view that you have to tell researchers what to do because o바카라사이트rwise 바카라사이트y¡¯ll never get down to practical matters and urgent problems. Nothing is fur바카라사이트r from 바카라사이트 truth,¡± said Professor Leptin.?

While 바카라사이트 UK may have topped ERC grantees?during 바카라사이트 period?that covered 바카라사이트 last EU funding programme, Horizon 2020, researchers elsewhere in Europe are already benefitting from its exclusion from 바카라사이트 successor programme, Horizon Europe.?

Professor Leptin said 바카라사이트 funder was in 바카라사이트 process of reallocating funds from grants that UK-based winners could not take up?because of?바카라사이트 country¡¯s ongoing freeze-out from 바카라사이트 programme due to Brexit.?

An ERC spokesman told 바카라 사이트 추천 in June that 143 UK-based winners had not yet transferred 바카라사이트ir planned projects to an eligible host institution within 바카라사이트 EU.
