NCP Flanders has extended the duration of its short satisfaction survey to gather valuable feedback and suggestions on the NCP services. The survey is fully anonymous and is open until 9 October 2026. It 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 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 with NCP Flanders, please email info@ncpflanders.be
The assessment covers the five EU Missions in Horizon Europe: Climate Adaptation, Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities, Cancer, Restore our Ocean and Waters, and A Soil Deal for Europe. According to the Commission, all five are moving towards their 2030 objectives: The Climate Adaptation Mission is already exceeding its target by supporting 292 regional and local authorities in putting adaptation measures in place, above the target of at least 150 communities. The Cities Mission reports 107 cities with Climate City Contracts and projected emissions cuts of 76% by 2030, linked to more than €13 billion in supported or developing investment. The Cancer Mission is currently on track to improve the lives of 2.3 million people by 2030. The Ocean and Waters Mission has delivered 121 innovative solutions tested at 349 demonstration sites, involved 86 regions in replication work, and gathered more than 1,000 Charter Actions. The Soil Mission has established 45 living labs so far and involves more than 500 real sites, with 60 to 70 additional sites expected to become operational by 2028. The press release and full report can be found here. This may interest stakeholders, researchers and civil servants. This report may help them explore how to participate in the Missions.
The ERC is looking for ERC grantees to participate in the 2027 edition of the annual ‘Science is Wonderful!’ science fair. The fair is aimed at primary and secondary school students and gives them the opportunity to interact with teams of researchers that showcase their work at booths through live experiments, interactive presentations, floor games, physical challenges and many other creative formats. More information on the Science is Wonderful! science fair 2027 edition, what is in it for ERC grantees and what is expected from them, the evaluation criteria and preparation timeline is available in the application form for ERC grantees which is open until 6 October 2026.

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.
