Not to mention that in order to be competitive for the big grants, you have to have experience applying for, and -- if successful -- managing the small grants. Expecting ECRs to jump straight to a major UKRI/ERC grant is unrealistic.

@EUvsDisinfo @elonmusk This is some first output of my @ERC_Research @MEGEO_ERC.

I was saying this morning we have a model of how to do something like this with the UKRI underwrite when the UK pulled out of Horizon - where we funded ERC projects ourselves, as they'd already 'passed' competitive peer review.

We should be throwing up lab space in places like Cambridge and Tatton Park at a vast rate.

Thanks (not) to Brexit, I had to take the UKRI guarantee money instead so I think I get audited by UKRI maybe using ERC rules? It's all very confusing being held to 2 sets of Ts&Cs. (But overall better than moving country on 2 months notice...)
