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 (3rd cut-off 29 September 2022) were published. In total 90 ERC grant holders received a Proof of Concept grant including three researchers based at a Flemish host institution:

  • Peter Dedecker, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, “TriScanner - Next-gen fluorescence imaging for research and theranostics” which builds on research funded by the 2016 Starting grant “NanoCellActivity
  • Sarah-Maria Fendt, Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie, “MetaIron - Targeting Mfrn2 to Inhibit Metastatic Cancers” which builds on research funded by the 2017 Consolidator grant “MetaRegulation
  • Wim De Malsche, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, “VORTEX SENSOR - Vortex microflow inducer that enables detection of ultra-low concentrations of species in sensors” which builds on research funded by the 2015 Starting grant “EVODIS

ScreenME - Enhancing excellence in screen media entrepreneurship

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
