By 2020, the ERC shall therefore aim to demonstrate that the best researchers are participating in the ERC's competitions, that ERC funding has led to scientific publications of the highest quality and to research results with high societal and economic potential impact, and that the ERC has contributed significantly to making Europe a more attractive environment for the world's best scientists.
Faoi 2020, féachfaidh ERC, dá bhrí sin, leis na nithe seo a leanas a léiriú: go bhfuil na taighdeoirí is fearr ag glacadh páirte i gcomórtais ERC, go n-eascraíonn as an gcistiú a thugann an ERC uaidh foilseacháin eolaíochta den chaighdeán is airde chomh maith le torthaí taighde a d'fhéadfadh tionchar mór a bheith acu ó thaobh na sochaí agus ó thaobh an gheilleagair de, agus go bhfuil méid mór déanta ag ERC chun an Eoraip a dhéanamh níos tarraingtí mar ionad do na heolaithe is fearr ar domhan.
