This information webinar on European Research Council (ERC) Starting and Consolidator Grant 2025 calls for proposals is organised by the National Contact Points (NCPs) for ERC in Belgium (NCP-FNRS, NCP Flanders and NCP Federal BE) to inform potential applicants and host institutions. It is also aimed at researchers who are considering applying in the future.
The ERC Starting Grant Call 2025 is expected to open in July with a deadline in October 2024. The ERC Consolidator Grant Call 2025 is expected to open in September with a deadline in January 2025. The ERC Work Programme 2025 has yet to be approved, so deadlines are still tentative and subject to change.
ERC Starting Grants are targeting researchers who have successfully defended their first PhD between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2022 (inclusive).
ERC Consolidator Grants are targeting researchers who have successfully defended their first PhD between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2017 (inclusive).
Please note the eligibility periods can be extended beyond 7 and 12 years for certain situations. More information can be found in the ERC work programme.
Participation to the webinar is free but restricted to researchers wishing to apply with a Belgian host institution, or staff members of Belgian host institutions. Registration is mandatory.

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
