Programmes ERC   ERC  

Principal Investigators with a main European Research Council grant that is ongoing or ended after 1 January 2023 are eligible to participate in an ERC 2024 Proof of Concept Grant. The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research and are therefore available only to PIs whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research. For the 2024 Proof of Concept call (1st cut-off deadline 14 March 2024) in total 100 ERC Proof of Concept Grants were awarded, of which five to researchers based at a Flemish host institution. The ERCEA news article contains all funded projects including the 2000th awarded ERC Proof of Concept grant to the project DeepSpacePULSE (ICE-CSIC news article).

  • Rob Ameloot, KU Leuven, “MOFKADD - Metal-Organic-Framework Kinetic Array for Diabetes Detection” which builds on research funded by the 2021 Consolidator Grant “KISSIES”, and is the fifth ERC grant awarded to him.
  • Bart Lambrecht, VIB, “CRYSTAL-SHINE - A nanobody imaging tool to detect protein crystals and predict therapeutic response in asthmatics” which builds on research funded by the 2017 Advanced Grant “ASTHMACRYSTALCLEAR”, and is the third ERC grant awarded to him.
  • Isabelle Meyts, KU Leuven, “MODULATEDADA2 - Towards modulator therapy for ADA2 deficiency” which builds on research funded by the 2020 Starting Grant “MORE2ADA2

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
