The ERC represents 17% of the overall Horizon 2020 budget (€ 13.1 billion of € 77
billion)
The total annual budget for 2014 will be of € 1.7 billion, and as from 2016 the call
budgets are gradually increased each year
Since 2007, some 4,000 projects have been selected for funding from more
than40,000 applications
The ERC counts eight Nobel laureates and three Fields Medalists among its grant
holders (see also Prizes and Awards)
Over 20,000 articles acknowledging ERC-funding have appeared in peer-reviewed
high impact journals between 2008 and 2013
Each ERC grantee employs on average six team members, thus contributing to
train a new generation of excellent researchers. Under the new programme, an
estimated 7 500 lead researchers and a further 49 000 project team members will
benefit from the funding. The majority of these team members (approx. 31 000)
will be early-career researchers at doctoral and postdoctoral level
.
