The CASSINI Hackathons and Mentoring Programme gives a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the European Space and Defence sector, connect with like-minded individuals and organisations, and use your knowledge and skills to solve current Space and Defence challenges together as a team!
What ? The theme for this 8th edition is "EU Space for Defence and Security". You'll spend two days with various mentors and professionals from the sector to ignite innovation with 3 challenges defined by DG DEFIS and EUSPA as a starting point. You will be challenged to use European Space Technologies to strengthen Europe's defence and security capabilities by leveraging all available European space data, information, and signals from Copernicus, Galileo, or exploiting possible future services to be provided by IRIS2.
Together with our experts and mentors from the MoD, the industry, and in collaboration with the European Space Agency, you will ideate and develop a project to maybe win one of the prices and the chance to compete the EU final with the other 10 countries winners! 🏆
Who ? Belgian and EU citizens, defence and space enthusiast, start-ups, policy people, software, and hardware engineers, UX designers, students from relevant universities and university colleges.
When ? 22 - 24 November 2024.
Where ? ESA ESEC site in Redu, Belgium (Place de l'ESA, 1, 6890, Libin)
Places onsite at ESA are limited but the event will also be held online. Registrations are open!

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.
