NCP Flanders is your contactpoint for all your questions regarding the implementation of the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programme. But there are also other services which give specific support and advice about the Framework programme.

If you are not located in Flanders

National Contact Point Flanders (NCP Flanders) fulfils its services towards stakeholders located in Flanders.

NCP Brussels for enterprises and international organisations located in Brussels

NCP FNRS for universities of the French speaking community

NCP Federal, for the federal institutes

NCP Wallonie for the enterprises of the Walloon region.

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.
