ERC issues analysis of FP7 projects
The European Research Council has published an analysis of the portfolio of its projects funded from 2007 to 2013 under the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP7).
The report, entitled ‘Science behind projects’ provides a general overview of the research landscape of ERC projects in the domains of life sciences, physical sciences and engineering, and social sciences and humanities.
It also offers information on the main scientific areas funded by the ERC in the Starting, Consolidator and Advanced Grant calls launched under the precursor to Horizon 2020.
Up until 2013, the ERC funded over 4,300 research projects from over 40,000 submitted proposals with a budget of €7.5bn. The report can be read here.
