StandICT.eu, which unites the ICT standard experts, organises regularly an inspirational webinar - called walk & talk. The next ediation will be on quantum technologies. You'll get as main takeaways: Overview of Standards patterns in the field, Ongoing initiatives & Future Directions.

Quantum Technologies will make it possible to do things that might seem unthinkable today. With quantum, it will be possible to perform sophisticated computational tasks, like modelling biomolecular and chemical reactions, that the most powerful supercomputers cannot currently manage. Quantum will allow us to send sensitive information safely to anywhere, or even diagnose diseases quicker by looking inside cells.

Europe has a long-lasting tradition of excellence in quantum research. This legacy is brought forward with the Quantum Technologies Flagship, a large-scale, long-term research initiative funded by the EU that brings together research institutions, industry and public funders, consolidating and expanding European scientific leadership and excellence in this field.

This webinar will deal with the “State of the Art” in Quantum Technologies Standardisation, discuss European Policy and Strategies for development of adoption of Quantum Technologies within the Digital Single Market, presenting expert contributions from European and International Standards Development Organisations (SDOs).

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

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.
