Programmes ERCThe results of the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) Advancd Grant call (call deadline 29 August 2024) were published. Advanced Grants are open to active researchers who have a track-record of significant research achievements. The Principal Investigators (PIs) should be exceptional leaders in terms of originality and significance of their research contributions.
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 (usually two to five per proposal).
Of the 2534 submitted proposals 281 researchers with 32 different nationalities received an ERC Advanced Grant: 83 In Life Sciences, 118 in Physical Sciences and Engineering and 80 in Social Sciences and Humanities. Beside the list of selected researchers in the ERCEA news articles more background on the evaluation results, call statistics, and several project examples are highlighted.
However the statistics and list of successful candidates for this call are provisional since it is expected that Switzerland will only be formally associated to Horizon Europe in 2025. The scope of the association agreement does not cover award procedures implementing the 2024 budget. No grant agreements will therefore be signed with host institutions established in Switzerland under the 2024 Advanced Grant call. Switzerland-based applicants may only receive EU funding if they transfer their proposed project to an eligible host institution.
Among the 281 selected researchers are fifteen based at Flemish host institutions. The projects of these fifteen Principal Investigators (PIs) are presented in the news articles of Universiteit Antwerpen, Universiteit Gent, KU Leuven and VIB.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
