Principal Investigators with a European Research Council grant that is running or ended less than 12 months before 1 January of the call year are eligible to participate in an ERC Proof of Concept Grant. The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research and are therefore available only to PIs whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research. The results of the 2022 Proof of Concept 2 call (2nd cut-off 19 May 2022) were published. In total 55 ERC grant holders received a Proof of Concept grant including one researcher based at a Flemish host institution:

  • Mohamed Lamkanfi, Universiteit Gent, “PyroScreen - Targeting NLRP3-mediated inflammation with novel chemotypes” which builds on the research funded by the 2015 Consolidator grant “PyroPOP - Mechanisms and regulation of inflammasome-associated programmed cell death”

More information on the PyroScreen project and the PoC call results can be found in the press releases of Universiteit Gent and ERCEA

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
