British institutions dominated university participation in the Framework 7 research programme, a European Commission report has found.
The Commission published the seventh and final monitoring report for its Framework 7 programme this week. The report found that out of the top 50 universities that participated in the programme—which ran between 2007 and 2013—a total of 14 were from the UK. This was followed by seven institutions from the Netherlands, six from Germany and five from Sweden.
The top four academic participants are all from the UK, with the University of Cambridge in first. Over the course of the programme, it signed 737 grant agreements and received more than €424 million of EU funds. The University of Oxford is ranked second with 719 grant agreements, but won more funding—€437m—than Cambridge. Third was Imperial College at 657 grant agreements, and University College London with 610.
