These events provide opportunities to connect with potential collaboration partners. In addition, several programmes offer dedicated matchmaking platforms to facilitate partner searches. Here is an overview of the upcoming info days and brokerage events with the link to the event webpage, which you can find in our event calendar as well. When new dates and information will be made known subsequently this overview will be updated. The matchmaking platforms are included in the overview as well.

2025-12-09 ERCThe results of the 2025 European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant call (call deadline 14 January 2025) were published. Consolidator Grants are open to researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD (extensions are possible under certain documented circumstances), a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal. Proposals are evaluated in 28 evaluation panels in three research domains (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities and Life Sciences) composed of top scientists and scholars coming from all over the world and in addition by remote referees with necessary specialised expertise (two to five per proposal). Of the 3121 submitted proposals 349 researchers with 44 different nationalities received an ERC Consolidator Grant: 93 In Life Sciences, 141 in Physical Sciences and Engineering and 115 in Social Sciences and Humanities. In the ERCEA news articles more background on the evaluation results, call statistics and several project examples are highlighted. Among the 349 selected researchers are nine based at Flemish host institutions. The projects of these nine Principal Investigators (PIs) are presented in the news articles of Universiteit Gent, KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and imec.

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03) and running from 2025 to 2028, UrbanAIR develops advanced digital twins that simulate the interactions between urban climate, human behaviour, and policy choices. These models enable cities to explore what-if scenarios, such as new green infrastructure, mobility measures or building designs, and assess their impacts on health, safety and social equity. The project consortium consists of 18 partners from 11 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Vito in this testimonial.
