ProgrammesSince 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 UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
