2025-03-21 HealthThe European Medicines Agency (EMA) has made available a new clinical trial map, which is now accessible from the public website of the Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS). The map is designed to provide patients and healthcare professionals with easy access to comprehensive, real-time information about clinical trials conducted in their area, increasing access to clinical research in the European Union. Users can look for ongoing trials by geographic area and medical condition. The first version of the map is provided in English. Additional EU languages will be added in the future.A recording with a demonstration on how to use all the features is available on the EMA website. More information here.Background: The creation of the map is an action of the Accelerating Clinical Trials in the European Union (ACT EU) initiative workplan for 2025-2026. CTIS includes a public searchable database for healthcare professionals, patients and citizens to deliver the high level of transparency foreseen by the Clinical Trials Regulation. The authorisation and oversight of clinical trials is the responsibility of EU/EEA Member States while EMA is responsible for maintaining CTIS. The European Commission oversees the implementation of the Clinical Trials Regulation.
2025-03-18 RIThe aim of these cascading grants is to enhance the activities of RDA Working Groups through the adoption and further development of Working Group outputs. With a focus on outputs that lead to impact on the Open Science landscape, the cascading grants will ultimately contribute to the interoperability of Open Science solutions within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The cascading grants call is open not just to RDA Working Groups seeking to facilitate the adoption of their outputs, but also to organisations outside the RDA (for instance, research institutes or private companies) who wish to adopt an RDA output or recommendation. Any entity eligible to receive Horizon Europe funding can apply, barring consortium members of the RDA TIGER project. The total budget made available with this cascade grants call is €50,000 and it is expected to award between 3 and 5 grants with a funding range between €10,000 – €16,666, depending on applications received. The deadline for applications is 27 April 2025. The selected projects are expected to be launched in May 2025 and need to be concluded by the end of October 2025. All information related to the call is available on this section of the RDA Alliance website. The RDA TIGER project RDA TIGER is an abbreviation of Research Data Alliance facilitation of Targeted International working Groups for EOSC-related Research solutions. It is a two-year project funded under the Horizon Europe Research Infrastructures work programme, more specifically the destination Enabling an operational, open and fair EOSC ecosystem (INFRAEOSC). The project supports RDA Working Groups that concretely align, harmonise, and standardise Open Science developments and technologies globally. The services it provides will facilitate and support coherent and consistent working group definitions and increase the impact of the key European initiatives on the global level. The project will directly contribute to the EOSC Partnership by supporting (via the Working Groups) the international engagement and alignment of policies, technologies, methodologies, practices and other outputs of EOSC-related and other European Open Science developments.

Health AI, data & cloud Deployment: Best use of technologies
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.
