NCP Flanders is conducting a short satisfaction survey to gather valuable feedback and suggestions on the NCP services. The survey is organised into three sections: NCP Flanders assistance, info sessions, and NCP Flanders website & LinkedIn. If you are not familiar with one of these sections, the survey will automatically guide you to the next section. The survey is fully anonymous and will remain open until 24 July 2026. The NCP Flanders team would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill in the survey and provide your opinion via this link. If you would like to get in touch NCP Flanders, please mail to info@ncpflanders.be

Flemish companies active in biotechnology can apply to the Eureka Biotech Call for Innovation Projects, an international funding opportunity supporting collaborative research and innovation projects with partners from participating countries. Each country or region assesses and funds its own project partners. For Flanders, VLAIO participates through its regular support for research and development projects, in accordance with the applicable criteria.Through this Eureka call, Flanders aims to encourage companies to set up research and development projects in biotechnology fields such as medicine, bioinformatics, pharmaceutical products and services, life sciences, digitalisation and (bio)process technology (non-exhaustive list) – in collaboration with partners. Besides the joint Eureka application, Flemish participants must also submit a project proposal to VLAIO and are encouraged to contact VLAIO early for an eligibility check and proposal guidance. The Eureka submission deadline is 25 September 2026. The VLAIO proposal deadline is 9 October 2026 12:00 CEST. More information and details on the dedicated VLAIO webpage.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
