ProgrammesNCP Flanders organises this webinar on the Safe and Sustainable by Design Framework: a guidance to scientists developing new chemicals or materials with the aim to make these safer and more sustainable.
It aims to
The Commission Recommendation from 8 December 2022 which announced the Framework reaches beyond HE projects, encouraging also national programmes to take up or industry to apply the framework when developing new chemicals or materials.
A representative of DG Research & Innovation from the European Commission will speak about the purpose of the framework, how it is to be used as part of a projects technical activities and the current status of the testing phase.
In a second part an expert from the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO) will shed some light on the content of the SSbD framework.
There will be time for Q&A at the end of the presentations.

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.
