ProgrammesThe Falling Walls Lab Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) is a pitch competition organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the Falling Walls Lab. 15 selected MSCA fellows will present – in 3 minutes each – their research topic, innovative project, social initiative, business model, or idea through a video pitch to peers, a jury made up of experts from academia and business, and the general public.
The Falling Walls Lab MSCA competition will take place online-only on 30 September 2021. Before the competition, participants will take part in coaching sessions to practise their communication and storytelling skills, get tips for video presentations and speeches and receive personalised advice from a professional coach. Competitors will be assisted to record a professional video pitch.
The Falling Walls Lab MSCA will nominate three finalists plus there is an audience prize. All finalists will get a prize.
The call for applications is currently open for ongoing MSCA fellows at the application deadline 4 July 2021. All information on the application and eligibility criteria can be found in the online announcement.

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.
