ERC Statistics

About

An exploration and visualization of the participation of ERC member countries in FP8 using R.

Data

The European Research Council (ERC) provides country statistics freely available online. The numbers refer to both evaluated and granted projects submitted to the ERC. Here, the numbers are provided in CSV for analysis.

Data dictionary

Variable	Class	Description
iso2c	character	`iso2c` country code
call_year	integer	`2007` - `2020`
funding_scheme	factor	`StG`, `CoG`, `AdG`, `PoC`, `SyG`
research_domain	factor	`LS`, `PE`, `SH`
research_panel	factor	`LS1` - `SH6`
projects	factor	`evaluated`, `granted`
n	integer	number of projects

💡 The numbers of evaluated projects can be lower than the number granted projects because of researchers' mobility between countries during the time lag between evaluation and approval of projects.
