- ERC Mapping Study on funded projects published
ERC announced a very insightful study which maps the “scientific landscape” of all funded ERC projects across all panels between 2014-2020 (6707 projects). You can review, for each panel, popular topics, disciplinary connections, inter-panel synergies and main statistics. Factsheets are also downloaded to SRO’s document repository on ERC. For the first study covering 2007-2013, please click here.
SRO’s document repository now contains KU-specific analyses on previous ESRs and questions encountered in the interview stage (STG and COG). SRO also has introductory information on ERC grants on its webpage here.
If you are considering an ERC proposal, please contact us to discuss your planning options, your CV’s and/or idea’s eligibility and other matters. Liaison points: Emrah Göker (egoker@), Oya Gül (ogul@), Esra Hüseyinoğlu (eyesilgul@).
