Over the last 30 years, the EU has invested €200 billion in research and innovation projects improving life for everyone. From Galileo – the European GPS – to Casper, a robot that helps children fighting cancer, the benefits of research are wide-ranging. Last year, more than 60% of completed projects funded by the European Research Council (ERC) were considered major scientific breakthroughs. More than 80 EU scientists and researchers were Nobel Prize laureates over the last 10 years
