Enhancing EU R&I Missions Horizon Europe

The Polish National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) and Business and Science Poland (BSP) offices in Brussels organise a talk with Mr. Bruno Maquart, President of the European Network of Science Centres and Museums (ECSITE) and Chairman & CEO of Universcience. The topic of the talk is citizens’ engagement in research & innovation, more specifically in the EU Missions and Horizon Europe, and questions that will be tackled are:

  1. What are the benefits of citizens’ engagement?
  2. How to draw the attention of the EU citizens and engage them in participation in science research and innovation, and in the policy-making processes?
  3. Overloading citizens with surveys and consultations can lead to disengagement. What actions should we consider to avoid citizen fatigue?
  4. How to measure the impact of citizens’ engagement accurately to secure the best quality?
  5. What are the best examples of the activities of the citizens’ engagement based on the ECSITE experience?

Registration for the talk is required by 26 September. In the registration form you can indicate the type of presence (at the venue or online) and submit questions for the speaker.

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.
