Programmes ERCThe 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.

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.
