Research and innovation are key areas to reignite sustainable growth and drive productivity.
Launched two decades ago, the European Research Area (ERA) has made limited progress. The ERC Scientific Council fully supports renewed efforts for further development.
The ERC has now funded more than 10,000 grant recipients who are making a real impact on people's lives, achieving scientific breakthroughs that drive innovation.
Global migration flows show a profound diversification of migrants' groups in recent years. Their patterns of nationality, ethnicity, language, age, gender and legal status are growing ever more complex and migrants with 'new diversity' traits live in cities alongside people from previous immigration waves. Prof. Steven Vertovec's comparative study helps understand how old and new waves of migrants meet, mix, interact and get integrated into a given society.
