Principal Investigators with a main European Research Council grant that is ongoing 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 2023 Proof of Concept call (3rd cut-off deadline 21 September 2023) were published. In total 102 ERC Proof of Concept Grants were announced of which four received by researchers based at a Flemish host institution. In the ERCEA news articles more background on the evaluation results, the results of all three rounds of the 2023 call and several project examples are highlighted.
