This onsite matchmaking event organised by NEB4All - the European network of NEB NCPs – aims to help potential applicants to find partners and to build a consortium for the 2026 calls of the NEB Facility Work Programme 2026-2027.
What to expect?
Target audience: Universities, research centres, municipalities, companies (SMEs & large), civil society organisations, cultural and creative actors, and any R&D-focused stakeholders ready to co-create for the NEB initiative.
Potential applicants are invited to register on the matchmaking platform if they are interested in joining this event. To be validated and secure a spot during the onsite matchmaking, they need to comply with some quality criteria (details described on the platform).
For applicants that can’t make it to Brussels, note that the onsite event will be followed by online long-term matchmaking. They will thus be able to join the participant pool at a later stage.
This matchmaking event complements the NEB Facility Info Day that will be organised by the European Commission on 24 February 2026.

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.
