This expert roundtable will explore how Research & Innovation (R&I) can significantly contribute to ensure European energy security and strengthen the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, in alignment with existing policies and measures.

The event draws from the recently published Independent Expert Study on Clean Energy R&I Opportunities, which aims to prioritise R&I actions that strengthen the EU's long-term energy security by addressing challenges within specific clean energy value chains.

The event will feature high-level speakers and experts. Rosalinde van der Vlies, Director of DG RTD Clean Planet, will open the event, introducing the objectives of the study. The panel will consist of distinguished experts from the European Commission and beyond. This gathering of experts ensures a thorough discussion on the role of R&I to ensure European energy security and the competitiveness of the clean tech industry in the EU, bridging strategic European perspectives with the detailed analysis presented in the study.

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.
