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 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.
