The selected projects of the 2026 European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant call (call deadline 5 November 2025) were published by the ERC Executive Agency. Synergy grant projects consist of minimum two to maximum four researchers or Principal Investigators (PIs) and their teams that jointly address ambitious research problems that could not be addressed by the individual PIs and their teams working alone.
Proposals are evaluated in evaluation panels that are not predefined, composed of top scientists and scholars coming from all over the world and in addition by remote referees with necessary specialised expertise, in a three-step evaluation including interviews.
In total 957 proposals were submitted for this call, of which 48 projects with 173 PIs were selected for funding. In the ERCEA news article the list of selected projects and several other examples of projects are highlighted.
Among the 173 selected researchers is one researcher based at a Flemish host institution. The project of the PI is presented in the news articles of the VIB.
Jenny Russinova (VIB) is involved in the project together with 3 other PIs FASTFURIOUS - Understanding the molecular basis of fast plant signaling.
