A Mutual Learning Workshop (MLW) is organized by the GENDERACTION project and coordinated by the Standing Working Group on Gender in Research and Innovation under European Research Area and Innovation Committee (ERAC SWG GRI). The workshop has the following objectives:

  • Establish contacts and network on gender and digitalization
  • Discuss the latest developments with invited experts in the field
  • Share experiences on examples of good practice (e.g. policies, strategies, targeted funding programmes) from member states
  • Identify barriers that hinder the greater involvement of women researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs
  • Develop recommendations for actions on gender and digitalization in Horizon Europe and for Member States

The workshop is divided into three seperate sessions:

Session 1: Friday, 26th March 2021, 9.30am-11.30am (GMT). Theme – ICT and digital skills

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.
