Programmes ERC ERCThe results of the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant call (call deadline 15 November 2023) were published. Synergy grant projects consist of minimum two to maximum four Principal Investigators (PIs) and their teams that jointly address ambitious research problems that could not be addressed by the individual Principal Investigators and their teams working alone. In total 548 proposals were submitted for this call of which 57 projects with 201 PIs received a Synergy grant including one researcher based at a Flemish host institution:

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
