1 Réunion des DU-INSHS 30 mars 2009 Stratégie et priorités scientifiques du Conseil Européen de la Recherche (ERC) Alain PEYRAUBE Conseil scientifique de l ERC 1

2 FP7 (EC) 7 th Framework Programme (FP7) Family of FP7 Specific Programmes Co-operation Ideas People Capacities Ideas: complementary to other FP7 support policy vs. science-driven, bottom-up vs. targeted research 2

3 FP7 Ideas Programme Creates the ERC (new institution ): Scientific Council (ScC) Executive Agency (EA) Provides funding: 7.51 bn ( ), around 15% of FP7 budget Average budget: ~1 bn per year Sets overall objectives for research and operating principles By 2010: review of ERC structure and mechanisms 3

4 The Agency Executes annual work programme as established by the Scientific Council Implements calls for proposals and provides information and support to applicants Organises peer review evaluation Establishes and manages grant agreements Administers financial aspects and follow-up of grant agreements 4

5 The Scientific Council Members & Role 22 most respected researchers reflecting the full scope of European research and scholarship proposed by an independent identification committee appointed by the Commission (for 4 years, renewable once) Role: Establishes overall scientific strategy establishes annual work programmes (incl. calls for proposals, evaluation criteria); defines peer review methodology; ensures selection and accreditation of experts Controls quality of operations and management Ensures communication with the scientific community 5

6 The ERC Board Linking strategy and operations Prof. Fotis Kafatos President of the ERC Prof. Helga Nowotny Dr Daniel Esteve Vice-Presidents of the ERC Jack Metthey Director of ERC EA (Directorate S) Prof. Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker ERC Secretary-General 6

7 Strategic Aims Overview ERC : first pan-european funding agency for frontier research Funding directed to individual teams and projects selected solely on the criteria of excellence Operates according to the principles of scientific excellence, autonomy, efficiency and transparency Autonomous scientific governance Simple, user-friendly delivery 7

8 ERC Grants: Open to individual teams anywhere in the world ERC has been the only component of the FP7- family to widely open its programs and schemes to individual teams anywhere in the world, under only one condition, i.e. that funded projects will have to be located in EU or its associated countries. Thus, PIs and team members can be of any nationality, working in almost any country. 8

9 Two types of Grants ERC Starting Grants, supporting excellent early stage independent investigators (2-9 years since completion of PhD) 2007 and 2009 ERC Advanced Grants, supporting investigators at all subsequent stages 2008 Hosting institution Located in a EU Member State or Associated Country Intra-European grant portability allowed 9

10 ERC Grant schemes Budget Allocation For operational reasons the ScC agreed on 3 main research domains: Domain 1: Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Information and Communication, Engineering Sciences, Universe and Earth Sciences (PE) Domain 2: Life Sciences (LS) Domain 3: Social Sciences and Humanities (SH) Pre-allocation of call budget for ERC Grants per domain currently as follows: 45% PE - 40% LS - 15% SH Now : 39% PE 34% LS 14% SH 10

11 ERC Grant schemes Panel Structure Panels have one Panel Chair and Panel Members, all selected by the Scientific Council members 20 Panels for the 1st Call : 8 PE, 7 LS, 5 SH 25 Panels now: 10 PE, 9 LS, 6 SH Panel Chair oversees evaluation process for the proposals assigned to his/her Panel in collaboration with ERC staff Panel Chair gives high level stamp of credibility and visibility to the whole evaluation process 11

12 ERC Grant Schemes Evaluation: Scientific Excellence is the sole criterion 1. Principal Investigator 2. Research Project 3. Research Environment Referees and panels evaluate and score criteria 1 and 2 numerically, which will result in the ranking of the proposals Criteria 3 will be considered as "pass/fail" and commented upon but not scored 12
