European Research Council Research Potential in Europe, Brussels May 2009 │ 40 ERC StG 2007 & ERC AdG 2008 Low national R&D funding in some countries

European Research Council Research Potential in Europe, Brussels May 2009 │ 41 Conclusions I ERC has succeeded in gaining European & worldwide recognition as a world-class research-funding agency ERC has made pioneering steps towards research innovation (e.g., interdisciplinarity) & attracted many very-high-quality proposals Success rate of applicants is limited by the current funding level Several national funding agencies decided to fund the researchers listed in the reserve list. This underpins the confidence on ERC as a pan-European funding agency that sets standards of excellence Countries that systematically invest large funds into their own R&D are more successful in creating research environments that attract outstanding investigators

European Research Council Research Potential in Europe, Brussels May 2009 │ 42 Wide variations exist within EU/AC in research, research support & institutional reputation Individual excellence requires excellent "infrastructures and framework conditions" provided by the organisation which hosts the individual researcher. Countries and host institutions should establish framework conditions that guarantee the sustainability of the ERC incentives, e.g. by offering long-term contracts (tenure track positions) or dual career programmes (e.g. ETH Zurich) etc. Conclusions II

European Research Council Research Potential in Europe, Brussels May 2009 │ 43 ERC – International Relations Relation to other funding agencies & research institutions Mutual support and cooperation National institutions responsible for building up excellence in the national research community ERC responsible for building up excellence across Europe without regard to nationality Substantial opportunities for synergy National support for researchers who passed the ERC quality threshold but who will not get ERC funding (Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Region of Flanders etc.). Incentive scheme for PIs: Gent University offers tenure track for successful grantees National Detached Experts (currently 11 Ends')
