Support for the individual scientist – no networks!
Global peer-review
No predetermined subjects (bottom-up)
Support of frontier research in all fields of science
and humanities
The ERC supports excellence in frontier research through
a bottom-up, individual-based, pan-European competition

Scientific governance: independent Scientific Council
with 22 members including the ERC President; full
authority over funding strategy
Support by the ERC Executive Agency (autonomous)
Excellence as the only criterion
Budget: € 13 billion (2014-2020) - 1.9 billion €/year
€ 7.5 billion (2007-2013) - 1.1 billion €/year

ERC Structure
The European Commission • Provides financing through the EU framework programmes
• Guarantees autonomy of the ERC
• Assures the integrity and accountability of the ERC
• Adopts annual work programmes as established by the Scientific Council
The ERC Executive Agency • Executes annual work programme as established by the Scientific Council
• Implements calls for proposals and provides information and support to applicants
• Organises peer review evaluation
• Establishes and manages grant agreements
• Administers scientific and financial aspects and follow-up of grant agreements
• Carries out communications activities and ensures information dissemination to ERC stakeholders
The ERC Scientific Council • 22 prominent researchers proposed by an independent identification committee
• Appointed by the Commission (4 years, renewable once)
• Establishes overall scientific strategy; annual work programmes (incl. calls for proposals, evaluation criteria); peer review methodology;
selection and accreditation of experts
• Controls quality of operations and management
• Ensures communication with the scientific community

ERC in the H2020 Structure
The HORIZON 2020 main components:
Excellent Science
World class science is foundation of technologies, jobs, well-being
Europe needs to develop, attract, retain research talent
Researchers need access to the best infrastructures
Industrial leadership
Societal challenges
Excellent Science:

Established by the European Commission
ERC offers independence, recognition & visibility
• to work on a research topic of own choice, with a team of own choice
• to gain true financial autonomy for 5 years
• to negotiate with the host institution the best conditions of work
• to attract top team members (EU and non-EU) and collaborators
• to move with the grant to any place in Europe if necessary (portability
of grants)
• to attract additional funding and gain recognition; ERC is a quality
label

After 8 Years of Existence…
A Success Story
Highly recognised by the research community
Over 4 300 top researchers funded during FP7 (2007-2013)
65% are at an early-career stage
Other 375 young researchers selected in the Starting 2014 call
and 372 young researchers selected in the Consolidator 2014 call
66 nationalities represented
Highly competitive (overall success rate tending to 10%)
Working in almost 600 different institutions in 32 countries
50% of grantees in 50 institutions : “Excellence attracts excellence”
Benchmarking effect: impact on national programmes and agencies;
national funding for best "runners-up"
Efficient and fast grant management

Moser
The Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine
2014 was awarded to May-Britt Moser
and Edvard Moser, together with John
O'Keefe,

constitute a positioning system in the
brain”. The research leading to these discoveries
was supported by FP5. ("Spatial Representation in the Entorhinal Cortex”
Science 2004) Edvard Moser
The Nobel Prize in
Economic Sciences 2014
was awarded to Jean
Tirole "for his analysis
of market power and
regulation". Jean Tirole Two of the Fields Medals
2014 awarded to researchers
based in Europe: Artur Avila
"for his work in dynamical
systems” and to Martin
Hairer “for his work on
stochastic singularities”.
