The Disaster Resilience Days is a multi-day event organised under the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS), bringing together experts, policymakers, first responders, and innovators from across Europe and beyond. The event focuses on advancing disaster resilience and preparedness through EU-funded research, technological innovation, and international cooperation.
It features keynote presentations from the European Commission and Member States, panel discussions, live demonstrations of cutting-edge projects, and a walking exhibition, offering opportunities for cross-sector collaboration and knowledge exchange. Key themes include innovation in crisis response, community engagement, secure communication, space technologies, and global partnerships.
As part of the effort to move closer to national communities and deepen local engagement, the next edition of the Disaster Resilience Days will take place in Athens from 6-8 October 2025.

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.
