7th Call for Proposals ERC Grants News/Events The Secretariat

Regional Impact Lab | Day 2

The Regional Impact Lab continued today with 35 grantees from the ERC Grant Scheme and the 7th Call for Proposals, keeping the focus where it matters most: impact.

Day 2 was dedicated to a hard look at delivery, what is already working on the ground, which success stories are emerging early, and what practical steps can help projects scale results, reach wider audiences, and stay sustainable well beyond the grant period. Discussions centred on moving from implementation to legacy: building partnerships, strengthening visibility, and ensuring that each initiative can continue generating value after the funding cycle ends.

Both schemes are part of the EU–WBF Joint Action, co-funded by the European Union under IPA III – Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance.
