Independent expert report on R&I Challenges for System Transition in Energy & Mobility
Starts in 2 weeks from now
Locationonline
ProgrammesThe event will see the launch of the independent expert report ‘Addressing European Research and Innovation Challenges for System Transitions in Energy and Mobility’. This reflection paper provides a vision, recommendations and actions for how EU R&I policy in the areas of clean energy and mobility should go about adapting to the challenges the EU now faces. The event will explore the paper’s suggestions and consider how to best to translate them from lofty ambitions to real actions.
DG Research and Innovation (DG R&I) Deputy Director-General Joanna Drake will open the event. The report will then be presented by one of the co-authors of the report, Pierpaolo Cazzola (Co-Director, ITS-Davis European Transport and Energy Research Centre, University of California, Davis). This will be followed by a panel discussion, moderated by DG R&I ‘Clean Planet’ Director Rosalinde van der Vlies. Four high-level speakers will provide their views and thoughts on the paper, and present their thoughts on the challenges and possible future priorities for R&I in clean energy and mobility. The panellists are:
- Floor Alkemade (Full Professor and Chair of Economics and Governance of Technological Innovation at Eindhoven University of Technology; member of the Commission expert group on the Economic and Societal Impact of Research and Innovation [ESIR])
- Frank W. Geels (Eddie Davies Professor of Sustainability Transitions, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester) (co-author of the reflection paper)
- Marc Lemaître (Director-General, DG R&I)
- Henriette Spyra (Director General Innovation & Technology, Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Mobility, Innovation & Technology)

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.
