ERC publications

In 2022, the ERC continued to support precursor daring ideas, projects, and researchers, regardless of their origin. Its focus on excellence and independence is enabling Europe to identify and invest in the best research that leads to scientific breakthroughs linking creativity with the world’s most pressing challenges that required knowledge-based approaches.

From Master degree to advanced stages of career, the European Union funds outstanding students and researchers from all over the world to develop their potential in Europe.

This fact sheet provides an overview of the projects relevant for the selected areas of the European Green Deal. The projects were funded under the Starting Grant (StG), Consolidator Grant (CoG), Advanced Grant (AdG) and Synergy Grant (SyG) schemes launched in the H2020 Framework Programme (2014–2020)

With the intention to map the breadth and diversity of the research it supports, the ERC analysed the content of the projects funded under the Horizon 2020 (H2020) framework programme (2014-2020) through an in-house developed, nonhierarchical classification system of almost 900 terms. This classification system allows the ERC to capture the scientific essence of funded projects, to highlight interdisciplinary areas and synergies, and to pinpoint the valuable contribution of ERC frontier research to help tackle global challenges.

This annual report highlights activities and achievements of the ERC in 2021, and some of the wonderful results of the science it funds and the successes of the researchers.

This Annual Report portrays the results and achievements of the ERC in 2020, a year of loss and a year of hope, but also a year of faith in science and of trust in the researchers and in the European institutions that support them.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an enormous health, economic and societal global impact. In this context, over 180 ongoing or completed ERC projects generate knowledge and technology that contribute to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This ERC portfolio of projects forms part of the extensive EU response to the COVID-19 pandemic as regards to the research and innovation efforts.
