Programmes ERC ERCThe results of the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant call (call deadline 15 November 2023) were published. Synergy grant projects consist of minimum two to maximum four Principal Investigators (PIs) and their teams that jointly address ambitious research problems that could not be addressed by the individual Principal Investigators and their teams working alone. In total 548 proposals were submitted for this call of which 57 projects with 201 PIs received a Synergy grant including one researcher based at a Flemish host institution:
Sara Bals (Universiteit Antwerpen) is involved in the project ‘CHIRAL-PRO - Handshake Complexes of Chiral Nanoparticles and Proteins’.
In the ERCEA news article 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.
