• €33.70 million is reserved for the Global Fellowships, and is distributed between the scientific areas based on the number of eligible proposals received in each of these areas;
• €205 million is reserved for the European Fellowships, and is distributed between its panels (except for the Society and Enterprise panel) based on the number of eligible proposals received by each one;
• €10 million is reserved for the Society and Enterprise panel of the European Fellowships.
