ProgrammesThis MSCA lunchtime conversation session will explore the interplay between citizens’ diverse identities and the values attached to them on one hand, and political attitudes and behaviours regarding often polarising issues (e.g. health, climate, migration) on the other.
The discussion will address perspectives on public policies and responsible institutions at national or EU level. The speakers will present relevant findings from their projects, comment on policy implications of their work and reflect on the responsibility and capacity of science to (in)form citizens’ views/opinions.
About the MSCA lunchtime conversations
The aim of the MSCA lunchtime conversations is to provide a space for exchange between researchers, practitioners and policy makers on the proposed topic through close interaction between science and policy.
In the case of democracy series, the topic is the meaning of democracy and different forms of democratic participation of citizens, in different institutional and societal contexts.
Deadline to register: 6 March 2025, 12.00 CET
More information and the registration link is available in the announcement on the MSCA website.

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
