The SMI2G brokerage event gathers European-wide innovators and practitioners looking for further consortium partners by presenting game-changing ideas and novel technologies addressing the challenges of Horizon Europe's Civil Security for Society 2025-2026 Work Programme (not yet published).
The SMI2G brokerage event is organised by the EARTO Working Group Security and Defence Research, the SEREN network, EOS, IMG-S, and CMINE and is supported by the Ministère de l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche and ENLET.
Every year, SMI2G hosts top-level keynote speakers, expert panel discussions, and ground-breaking pitch sessions related to the respective calls. As a result, the event offers participants significant networking opportunities, supports consortium-building efforts, and shares valuable information concerning the Horizon Europe Security Calls.

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.
