| Summary: | <p>This paper reflects on the results of a survey carried
out within the COST TN1301 Sci-Generation network among the holders of ERC
starting grants originating from countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
The results of the survey reveal a greater personal satisfaction of the
grant holders when carrying out the ERC-funded research in their native
countries following successful PhD and/or post-doctoral periods in Western
Europe and the USA. On the downside, a tenacious administration appears to
be the largest burden for a new generation of successful researchers. It is
discussed how the the statistics of ERC starting grants is a mirror of host
countries' and host institutions' ability to attract and keep the most
talented young researchers.</p> |
