Programmes ERC ERC

Principal Investigators with a main European Research Council grant that is ongoing or ended after 1 January 2023 are eligible to participate in an ERC 2024 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. For the 2024 Proof of Concept call (1st cut-off deadline 14 March 2024) in total 100 ERC Proof of Concept Grants were awarded, of which five to researchers based at a Flemish host institution. The ERCEA news article contains all funded projects including the 2000th awarded ERC Proof of Concept grant to the project DeepSpacePULSE (ICE-CSIC news article).

  • Rob Ameloot, KU Leuven, “MOFKADD - Metal-Organic-Framework Kinetic Array for Diabetes Detection” which builds on research funded by the 2021 Consolidator Grant “KISSIES”, and is the fifth ERC grant awarded to him.
  • Bart Lambrecht, VIB, “CRYSTAL-SHINE - A nanobody imaging tool to detect protein crystals and predict therapeutic response in asthmatics” which builds on research funded by the 2017 Advanced Grant “ASTHMACRYSTALCLEAR”, and is the third ERC grant awarded to him.
  • Isabelle Meyts, KU Leuven, “MODULATEDADA2 - Towards modulator therapy for ADA2 deficiency” which builds on research funded by the 2020 Starting Grant “MORE2ADA2
  • Bence Nanay, Universiteit Antwerpen, “CorTrINVI - Cortical Training to Improve Navigation for the Visually Impaired” which builds on research funded by the 2016 Consolidator Grant “STYDS

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
