Programmes ERCSince the start of European Research Council (ERC) in 2007 a lot of investigator-driven frontier research across all fields has been funded. The celebration of the 10.000th ERC grantee today provides an opportunity to look at what the impact of ERC funded research has been. Fifteen projects are highlighted which have contributed to scientific research and to the European research landscape over the years. One of these projects is the ERC Synergy grant funded under the 2013 call “Imbalance-P - Effects of phosphorus limitations on Life, Earth system and Society”. Synergy grant projects consist of minimum two tot maximum four Principal Investigators and their teams that collaborate to address ambitious research problems. Biogeochemist and professor Ivan Janssens from the University of Antwerp is involved in Imbalance-P. A story and podcast on this project which is “bringing the impact of nutrient imbalance to global attention” can be consulted via the ERC website

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.
