EU Framework Programme funding compared to national public funding
The European Framework Programme is of increased importantance for the Netherlands. In this data publication we show the relationship between national public R&D expenditure and EU funding through the different Framework Programs. We also compare the funding of the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme with the funding of the ERC to researchers at Dutch institutions.

Analysis
Both national expenditure and European budget for the Dutch science system have increased over the years. The European part has become an increasing part of total public R&D.
We see that funding from Europe is increasing in importance when we compare the size of the Dutch talent scheme with the income from the ERC program. As of 2013, the European excellence grants for researchers at Dutch institutions are about the same size or larger in terms of financial size as the Dutch talent scheme, the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme.
