It has affected widely shared conceptions of scholarly excellence and introduced new measures of academic esteem with more attention to rigorous peer review – also in the social sciences and the humanities. One concern is that the portability of grants may have fueled the clustering of research talent and reputation toward some institutions and some states, away from others. The benefits of the ERC in promoting research quality across Europe in the longer term may be at risk unless some parties take steps to correct the imbalance.},
