The European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) has recently launched a call to join the new knowledge and innovation community (KIC) on water. A KIC is a community where the three sides of the so-called "Knowledge Triangle" (education, research and innovation achieved by industry) come together in order to create succesful innovative businesses and upskill the workforce of the future.
To inform all interested parties about this call, the EIT organises an online information session on the 5th of March. This is part of the European Ocean Days 2025, organised by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE).
If you want to follow it online you do not need to register and the streaming link will be published on this website. However if you want to be present in person you need to register here. There is only one participant per organisation allowed so it is best to register as soon as possible. The deadline for registration is the 28th of February.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to
a personalised dashboard that groups all news updates and event announcements in your domain(s).
Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
