The selected projects of the 2025 European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant call (call deadline 6 November 2024) were published. Synergy grant projects consist of minimum two to maximum four researchers or 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.

Proposals are evaluated in not predefined evaluation panels, composed of top scientists and scholars coming from all over the world and in addition by remote referees with necessary specialised expertise, in a three-step evaluation including interviews.

In total 712 proposals were submitted for this call of which 66 projects with 239 PIs were selected for funding. In the ERCEA news article the list of selected projects and several other examples of projects are highlighted.

Among the 239 selected researchers are two researchers based at a Flemish host institution. The projects of the two PIs are presented in the news articles of Universiteit Gent and KU Leuven.

Patrick Degryse (KU Leuven) is together with 3 other PIs involved in the project CoCo - Connected Communities in early medieval Europe.

Bart Merci (Universiteit Gent) is together with 3 other PIs involved in the project FireSpace - Fire safety in space exploration.

ANERIS - Next generation tools for sensing and monitoring marine-life

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01) and running from 2023 to 2026, the ANERIS project aims to tackle the rapid loss of ocean biodiversity. The project’s main objective is to develop, test and implement the next generation of scientific instrumentation tools and methods for sensing and monitoring marine-life. Another key concept of the project is the introduction of the concept of Operational Marine Biology (OMB) as a biodiversity information system. The project consortium consists of 25 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner VLIZ in this testimonial.
