Drops in UK and Switzerland-based participation in ERC grants follow new restrictions and uncertainty
The share of European Research Council Synergy Grants awarded to principal investigators based in Switzerland or the UK has almost halved in the latest funding round, compared with the previous round in 2020.
Six PIs in the UK and three in Switzerland are participating in the 29 projects involving 105 PIs that the ERC announced on 25 October had been awarded funding from the 2022 Synergy Grant call, a combined share of 8.6 per cent.
