Programmes ERCThe FRONTIERS team invites research institutions and projects to express their interest in hosting a science journalist as part of the FRONTIERS Residency Programme, by joining the database of potential host institutions. The FRONTIERS public database is a starting point for applicants when identifying a host institution, though inclusion in the database is not required to be eligible as a host.

What is FRONTIERS?
FRONTIERS is the science journalism initiative funded by the European Research Council (ERC) to design a residency programme for science journalists wishing to experience an immersive period in a European research institution.
The FRONTIERS project is set to run from 2023 to 2027. During this time, the FRONTIERS team plans four calls to enable up to 40 science journalists to spend time with research teams, working on their own reporting ideas at institutions of their choice. Fellows and residency projects from previous rounds can be consulted here.
While backing independent science journalism, FRONTIERS hopes to contribute to the public trust in scientific institutions and in the scientific method itself, to ensure European citizens have access to reliable and accurate scientific reporting, to tackle misinformation and disinformation, ultimately contributing to more informed policymaking and a more scientifically literate society.

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
