Programmes ERCThe results of the 2023 European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant call (call deadline 8 November 2022) were published. Synergy grant projects consist of minimum two tot maximum four Principal Investigators (PIs) and their teams that collaborate and pool knowledge, skills and resources to address ambitious research problems. In total 37 projects with 135 PIs received a Synergy grant including one researcher based at a Flemish host institution:
Kevin Verstrepen (Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB)) is involved in the project “ EPIC - Unravelling the eukaryotic posttranscriptional regulatory”
More information on that project can be found in the interview with Kevin Verstrepen and the two collaborating PIs Julien Gagneur (Technische Universität München) and Vicente Pelechano (Karolinska Institutet) included in the news articles of the VIB and KU Leuven. In the ERCEA news articles the list of selected projects and several other examples of projects are highlighted.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
