Abstract
The portfolio of basic research funding of EU includes the Frontier Research funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) initiative implemented by DG CONNECT. ERC supports excellent researchers around the world to conduct frontier research in Europe, and developed a series of mechanism including the Starting Grants, Consolidator Grants, Advance Grants, Synergy Grants and Proof of Concept Grants. FET supports the basic research in ICT areas with fundamental, long-term, high-risk and cross-disciplinary characters. The tools of FET include FET-Open, FET-Proactive, and FET Flagships. The latter includes the recently-launched Graphene and Human Brain Flagship Project. The implications of the practice of EU include the following:First, the motive power of basic research comes from both the science development and the social development. Second, the development of basic research needs to keep balance between competition funding and institutional funding. Third, talent cultivation is critical to booming basic research. Last, cross-disciplinary research is one of the most important ways to explore the science frontier.关键词
