This conference, organised by the Commission, will bring together climate change & health researchers, funders and policymakers to reflect on the current challenges and needs for research in this area. Additionally, the conference will support the launch of a strategic research and innovation agenda identifying the priority topics for the years to come.
The conference will focus on four themes:
- Short and long-term impacts from climate change
- Climate change in the context of other environmental stressors
- Climate change and the health sector
- A global research agenda on climate change and health
The conference will also include an exhibition space. Information on calls for poster submissions will be available soon.
Registration is not open yet. You can already show your interest through pre-registration.

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.
