The European Research Council (ERC) marks a new approach to investing in frontier research in Europe. Funded through the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) as the implementation of the Ideas Specific Programme, the ERC aims at reinforcing excellence, dynamism and creativity in European research by funding investigator-driven projects of the highest quality at the frontiers of knowledge. This report, prepared again this year under the authority of the ERC Scientific Council, sets out the ERC's activities and achievements in 2010. It will be disseminated widely to both the scientific community and other key stakeholders with the aim of building awareness and increasing the transparency of the ERC's strategy and operations.
