@tabeasch.bsky.socialMore applications AND less funding - what a combination...
Show PostPeople spend months on their applications. So much time and effort, for a 5% chance at funding...
Show PostThe system is broken. Less than 5% success rate and a huge increase in grants that need to be evaluated by a truckload of scientists - an enormous sunk cost.
Show PostIn 2002, success rate at the ERC starting grant was 14%. This already felt too low to both panel and applicants, but was constrained by government funding. Well, 5 years later, it is now projected to be 5%. This is not sustainable.
Show PostLess than 5% chance!!! Come on @erc.europa.eu We need to find a solution. Otherwise, we will lose a generation of young researchers.
