The report is based on data retrieved from 6,671 ERC-funded projects from all scientific domains, including all projects funded from 2007 until 2014 (7th Framework Programme - FP7) and part of Horizon 2020 - H2020). The study attempted to answer the question how and to what extent the discoveries described by ERC grantees in scientific publications inspired new technologies presented in patent applications, which were filed by firms and institutions all over the world. A summary of the findings can be found in the executive summary of main findings in the report (p.4-6) and this ERC press release.
