A verified technical issue has affected the Funding & Tenders portal during the last hours, creating problems with the submission of proposals. Therefore, the deadline for call series HORIZON-CL6-2026-01 has been extended until 23/09/26 at 17h Brussels local time.
The eight winners of the 2026 edition of the ERC Public Engagement with Research Award (ERC-2026-PERA) have been announced. This is the first time, since the PERA Award was established, that two researchers affiliated with Flemish universities have won this award: Valeria Pulignano from KU Leuven and Sarah Lebeer from Universiteit Antwerpen. More information about the winners and their projects is available in the news article from the ERC. Background The ERC's PERA Award recognizes and rewards ERC grantees who successfully engage audiences outside their domain with ERC-funded research. ERC grantees who have carried out public engagement or science communication activities in the course of their ERC project or up to two years after its end, can apply for the biennial PERA award call. Previous calls were in 2020, 2022 and 2024. More information about PERA, previous winners and their projects is available on the ERC website here.

The European Innovation Act, proposed by the European Commission, is presented as a key action under the EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy and the Competitiveness Compass for the EU. It aims to strengthen the Single Market for innovation by addressing two main barriers to commercial success: Creating a harmonised EU framework for research and development procurement. Creating an EU-wide framework for the valuation of intellectual property. Target group: researchers, universities, research organisations, start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, larger companies, investors, and public procurers.

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
