The European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premiere funding agency for frontier research, views equality of opportunities as an essential priority. The ERC monitors closely various demographic data yearly on every call and has taken actions to tackle imbalances and potential implicit and explicit biases.

The ERC poster is focused on demographic geosciences data for the three main funding schemes: Starting Grant, Consolidator Grant and Advanced Grant. The data of the ERC population is expressed statistically, with focus on gender and geographic location.

Success rates of geosciences applicants by gender are compared to the both success rates from other fields of science at the ERC and other funding organisations in Europe.

Recent initiatives at the ERC to tackle imbalances are also presented.
