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 YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
