On 5 and 6 March 2025, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is organising a symposium on the European Security Research Programme.
Here are some of the topics covered during this 2-day event:
The full agenda of the symposium can be found here.
Registration is required and can be done via this link.
Additionally, participants of this event are invited to a Pre-Symposium Workshop on 4 March 2025 titled ‘Future Scenarios and the Urgent Need for Research and Innovation,’ taking place from 13:00 to 16:30. This workshop is organised by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security.
During the workshop, the ministry will share insights from its future foresight work, offer a real scenario planning experience, and provide an open space to discuss the urgent need for research and innovation.
The workshop is open to symposium participants (max. 50 attendees). More information about the Pre-Symposium Workshop can be found here.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
