The Parliament's Health Summit 2025 will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to address the most pressing challenges in health and social care. As transatlantic trade wars intensify and funding gaps widen, the need for innovative solutions for Europe’s healthcare infrastructure has never been more pressing.
Join the debate with panel discussions focusing on the future of healthcare in Europe. On the agenda, among others, sessions on 'Leveraging life sciences and biotech to boost Europe's competitive edge', 'European response to rare diseases' and 'Bolstering the digital transformation and AI to drive innovation'.

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.
