Chart 19 shows the 12 Greek institutions that host Principal Investigators, per funding scheme, whereas chart 20
lists the Greek organisations implementing ERC Grants, per domain. FORTH and the National Centre for Scien-
tific Research “Demokritos” are the only Greek organisations that currently host successful applicants (projects)
in both the Life Sciences and the Physical Sciences and Engineering domains.
In the ranking list of Greek institutions based on ERC success, first are NTUA and FORTH with five ERC grantees
each (see Table 6). However, when considering the HI of submission and not of implementation, FORTH leads
the Greek rankings in terms of ERC success with 6 successful ERC applications (2 for the Advanced and 4 for
the Starting funding scheme).
As regards the Advanced funding scheme, NTUA leads with four Advanced grantees followed by FORTH and the
National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, with two ERC Advanced Grants each. On the other hand,
NTUA only hosts one Starting grantee. The ERC Starting funding scheme represents the future of excellence
by supporting the next generation of research leaders in Europe. In this regard, the NTUA could consolidate its
leading role as a centre of excellence in Greece by placing more emphasis on attracting and retaining promising
top research leaders, thereby encouraging their early independence.
