Science behind the projects - Research funded by the European Research Council in FP7 2007–2013

This summary report provides a general overview of the research landscape of the projects funded by the ERC in FP7 in the domains of life sciences, physical sciences and engineering, and social sciences and humanities. One interesting analysis in the report concerns how bottom-up research funded by the ERC contributes to particular European thematic policy priorities — the examples given are nanotechnology, energy, health and migration. Other analyses that could be envisaged include how the scientific content of projects varies along the career stage of researchers (i.e. Starting Grant/Consolidator Grant versus Advanced Grant grantees). The data could also be used to localise clusters of excellence in particular research fields at a European level. The possibilities are almost infinite and provide an exciting avenue for further exploration.
Towards the next revolution in computer science
We are nowadays in the middle of the second quantum revolution. The first one brought forward the rules that govern physics at the atomic level – the quantum mechanics. The second entails the use of these rules for developing new technologies. In…

Widening gap between the rich and poor in European cities
The widening gap between rich and poor is leading to segregation in more and more European cities. The rich and the poor are living at increasing distance from each other, and this can be disastrous for the social stability and competitive power of…

Foreseeing the cities of the future?
To confront the current challenge of managing a city of 20 million, the Egyptian government has revealed plans earlier this year (2015) to build a new capital city, 45 kilometres east of Cairo. The ambitious project tackles growth over the next 50…
