Gender Distribution among ERC Grantees in Greece
About a fifth of the ERC Grant holders in Europe are women whereas in Greece the share of female grantees is
higher and accounts for almost 1/3 of the ERC successful applicants. However, the gender distribution of ERC
Grants in Greece displays a significant discrepancy between the two ERC Funding schemes. After eight com-
pleted calls, 50% of the ERC Starting grantees located in Greek Host Institutions are women whereas the share
of female Starting grantees in Europe is only 24%. On the other hand, there are no female Advanced grantees
in Greek Host institutions whereas the share of female Advanced grantees in Europe is 12% (see Chart 23). As
regards the domain of application, there is a slightly smaller share of women PIs in Greek Host Institutions (HIs)
compared to their male counterparts in the Life Sciences domain whereas only 1/5 of the PIs in Greek HIs that
successfully applied to the Physical Sciences and Engineering domain are women (see Chart 24). The relatively
low percentage of female grantees in European and associated countries - including Greece - is partly due to
the low submission rates of women, accounting for 29% and 14% of all applicants for the Starting and Advanced
funding schemes, respectively

Concerning ERC reviewers, 3 of the 15 panel or chair members hosted by Greek institutions (20%) are women
- one in the Life Sciences and two in the Social Sciences & Humanities domains.
