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
