ProgrammesmERCury, the network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for the European Research Council (ERC), is organising a webinar for researchers interested in the Advanced Grant. The event will guide participants from shaping a truly “groundbreaking” idea to understanding the evaluation process of the European Research Council (ERC). The programme includes insights into the ERC’s approach to frontier research, a session dedicated to the evaluation process, and testimonials from Advanced grantees across Social Sciences and Humanities (SH), Physical Sciences and Engineering (PE) and Life Sciences (LS) domains, with the participation of ERC Scientific Officers and ERC Panel Members.
Registration is open until 25 April 2026 registration form. Live stream is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibXILATWulU
All information related to this webinar is available in the announcement on the mERCury website.

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
