This event offers a platform to explore how scientific insights can shape national and European policies, while enabling participants to leverage key project outputs for prioritising protected area expansion, restoration, and ecological connectivity for conservation planning in the EU in a cost-efficient way.

Reasons to join this event:

  • Explore the project’s scientific outputs, innovative decision-support tools, and policy recommendations, all aligned with the area-based conservation targets
  • of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the EU Nature Restoration Regulation.
  • Engage with policymakers, government authorities, conservation managers, and researchers to drive concrete commitments for the Trans-European Nature Network (TEN-N).
  • Explore different TEN-N configurations, climate change and land-use scenarios, and key ecological corridors, among other key findings from the project.
  • Learn key insights from the NaturaConnect’s case study representatives: Danube-Carpathian Region, Finland, France, Portugal, Doñana and Halle-Leipzig as they share their regional, national and local work.

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.
