ProgrammesThe European Life Sciences Conference, organised by the European Commission, will look at some of the key developments shaping Europe’s life sciences and their role in a stronger, more competitive economy:
🧬 New medicines – exploring innovation in health and the development of new solutions.
🧬 Food systems – looking at how research and innovation can contribute to more sustainable and resilient food systems.
🧬 Industrial biotechnology – discussing the opportunities for biotechnology to strengthen Europe’s industrial base.
🧬 AI powering innovation – looking at how AI is changing life sciences and opening up new possibilities.
🧬 Trust in science – discussing how trust can be built and maintained as science and innovation continue to evolve.
Life sciences sit at the interaction of research, innovation, health, industry and the economy. The conference aims to bring together different perspectives to look at how innovation can strengthen Europe’s economy, boost competitiveness and support sustainable growth. It will also be a chance to connect with people working across the sector, exchange ideas and look at where Europe needs to go next.

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.
