This report highlights how ERC funded researchers are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their scientific processes, and how they see its potential impact by 2030. It summarises the findings of a foresight survey conducted among ERC grantees, which focused on their present use of AI and their views on future developments by 2030, potential opportunities and risks, and future impact of generative AI in science.

This report outlines the rich diversity of ERC funded projects which are in various ways relevant for the pathways identified in the EU’s Food 2030 research and innovation policy, either through the advancement of our understanding of the underlying causes of the sustainability challenges at hand and/or by proposing concrete solutions for overcoming these, as indicated by many of the examples described above. ERC bottom-up, frontier…

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. Discover the opportunities available under the EU programmes Erasmus+, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and the European Research Council and how to apply.

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…

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)
