Mapping of ERC funded research in Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) - factsheets
Over the course of the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (2014-2020), the ERC provided funding for over 6,700 research projects, amounting to a total value of €13.3 billion. These projects encompassed a wide range of scientific disciplines, creating a significant and diverse portfolio.
Recognising the importance of obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the breadth and diversity of the research it supports, the ERC conducted an in-depth analysis of these funded projects. This analysis involved the use of an internally developed, non-hierarchical classification system comprising nearly 900 terms. Through this approach, the ERC was able to capture the scientific essence of funded projects, highlight interdisciplinary areas and synergies, and identify the valuable contributions of ERC frontier research in addressing global challenges.

As a result of this effort, a series of downloadable factsheets has been compiled on this page. The overview factsheet (PDF) presents general statistics regarding the ERC's H2020 project portfolio and highlights key information from all the factsheets, providing a glimpse into their contents.
Additionally, there is a collection of 25 factsheets that contain data from the ERC evaluation panels in the Starting, Consolidator, or Advanced Grant schemes. These factsheets offer a comprehensive overview of the projects funded across the 25 ERC evaluation panels, which are categorized into three scientific domains: Life Sciences (LS) (PDF), Physical Sciences and Engineering (PE) (PDF), and Social Sciences and Humanities (SH) (PDF).
Furthermore, a dedicated factsheet focuses specifically on projects funded under the Synergy Grant scheme (PDF). Together, these factsheets provide a distinctive and valuable insight into the cutting-edge research landscape within the ERC project portfolio.
Furthermore, policy factsheets on three key policy areas of the European Union were published: Europe Fit for the Digital Age (PDF), European Green Deal (PDF) and EU4Health (PDF).
A summary of the findings can be found in this ERC press release.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks
The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
