I got an ERC press release. It covers the latest grant competition: €678 million are given to 328 researchers across Europe.
There are nationals of 43 countries among the winners of this call, notably Germans (60 researchers), French (34) and Italians (29).
Italians are the third group. But where they will chose to make their research?
The laureates of this grant competition will carry out their projects at universities and research centres in 25 EU Member States and other countries associated with Horizon Europe. The highest numbers of grants will be located in Germany (67 projects), France (38), the UK (38) and the Netherlands (37).
Italy is not third, and not even fourth. Why so?
Italy needs to improve its research facilities? Maybe it also needs to pay researchers more? Who helps me understand?
