I wrote previously about the Ideas Programme run by the ERC that I was briefly responsible for. The deadline for the Starter Grants has just passed, and we have been informed that the ERC received a total of 9,167 applications from across Europe, of which 126 were Irish.
Given that only 200—250 grants will be awarded, that means that there are going to be an awful lot of disappointed people: a success rate in the region of 2.5%.
