Horizon Europe Missions started about 6 years ago and have moved on from a new concept to a practical pathway for turning ambitious EU objectives into concrete, place-based solutions. In this webinar, we zoom in on what that looks like in practice—through the eyes of the people who are actually implementing Mission projects.

Speakers from ILVO, Stad Leuven, De Blauwe Cluster and VITO will share candid lessons on building the right consortium, shaping a proposal that fits the Mission logic, working with Mission governance structures and navigating the challenges (and opportunities) that arise during implementation. Expect short testimonials, real examples and actionable tips for Flemish organisations considering their first—or next—step into a Mission project. This is the full programme:

11.00-11.10: Pascal Verheye, NCP Flanders about the Missions in general

11.10-11.25 Radu Giurgiu, ILVO about the mission on a soil deal for Europe

11.25-11.40 Tim Guily, Stad Leuven about the mission on climate-neutral and smart cities

11.40-11.55 Kinnie De Beule, De Blauwe Cluster, about the mission on restoring our  oceans and rivers  

11.55-12.10 Jean-Luc De Kok, VITO  about the mission an adaptation to climate change

12.10-12.15: Q&A
