ERC EIC ERC FET EIC Pilot

The European Research Council Proof of Concept Grants (PoC) aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research and are therefore available only to ERC Principal Investigators (PIs) whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.

European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition aims to validate and demonstrate technology in an application relevant environment and develop market readiness. It supports both the maturation and validation of technologies from lab to real environment. EIC Transition proposals must build on the results from

  • EIC Pathfinder projects (including projects funded under EIC pilot Pathfinder, Horizon 2020 FET-Open, FET-Proactive and FET Flagships calls)
  • European Defence Fund (EDF), including the Preparatory Action on Defence Research, research projects, but only for proposals which are exclusively focused on civil applications (including dual use)
  • ERC Proof of Concept projects
  • All projects funded under Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe calls (for Transition Challenges only)

The webinar will present both funding schemes.

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.
