Projected increase to 14.4 per cent reflects reversion from 2020’s “unprecedented rise” in applications
The success rate for the European Research Council’s prestigious Advanced Grants for established researchers is set to almost double in the latest funding round, after a huge fall in applications relative to the abnormally high volume of the previous round.
On 3 September the ERC said it had received 1,735 applications for the 2021 round, and that it has earmarked €626 million to fund about 250 grants.
