ProgrammesThis MSCA lunchtime conversation session will focus on digital democracy and digital skills that citizens need to critically navigate the online public sphere.
It will look into different aspects of democratic participation in the era of social media and online platforms exposed to fake news and dis/misinformation, and the role of artificial Intelligence in shaping the ways of consuming and creating content.
Like the first event, the second MSCA lunchtime conversation will bring together representatives of different Commission services and scientific leaders/coordinators of EU-funded projects to present their work on the topic and engage in an active discussion with each other and with the audience (individual researchers, project leaders, policy makers, practitioners, civil society representatives, interested citizens).
More information and the registration link is available in the announcement on the MSCA website.

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.
