It is sad that even basic research needs to be defended with utility. For me, basic research is in the same category as art: civilized societies can't do without it, because we all want to know who we are and what our place in the natural world is -- questions that only science can answer.

To put science at the heart of its economy.
To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.
And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I haven't seen the official announcement but would prefer to see more grants instead. I know it is not under the control of the ERC but I hope the EU manages instead to double the ERC budget. Take money away from the other research initiatives if needed.
