ProgrammesEPOS-BE, the Belgian node of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS), organises a webinar on the European Plate Observing System and the Belgian national node.
The programme will introduce the Pan-European research infrastructure EPOS, its mission, and its significant achievements, with a special focus on the value it provides to users and data providers. It will present the history and activities of EPOS-BE, the Belgian Node of the infrastructure.
We will delve into some of the most relevant scientific use cases for the Belgian solid Earth science community, chosen from the fields of GNSS, satellite data, seismology and anthropogenic hazards, and offer a live walkthrough of the EPOS data portal, which will offer insights on how to visualise and combine different types of data.
The event is intended to provide practical information for the Belgian scientists to make the most of this innovative infrastructure and boost their research by discovering and combining new data. It will include an interactive session for attendees to share their feedback, ask questions and provide their point of view on the evolution of the EPOS infrastructure.
Target audience: researchers, students and data professionals in solid earth science
Registration for the webinar is required by 21 November 2023.
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.
