ProgrammesThe results of the 2025 European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant call (call deadline 14 January 2025) were published. Consolidator Grants are open to researchers with 7-12 years of experience since completion of PhD (extensions are possible under certain documented circumstances), a scientific track record showing great promise and an excellent research proposal.
Proposals are evaluated in 28 evaluation panels in three research domains (Physical Sciences and Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities and Life Sciences) composed of top scientists and scholars coming from all over the world and in addition by remote referees with necessary specialised expertise (two to five per proposal).
Of the 3121 submitted proposals 349 researchers with 44 different nationalities received an ERC Consolidator Grant: 93 In Life Sciences, 141 in Physical Sciences and Engineering and 115 in Social Sciences and Humanities. In the ERCEA news articles more background on the evaluation results, call statistics and several project examples are highlighted.
Among the 349 selected researchers are nine based at Flemish host institutions. The projects of these nine Principal Investigators (PIs) are presented in the news articles of Universiteit Gent, KU Leuven, Vrije Universiteit Brussel and imec.

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).
NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
