Digital, Industry & Space AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologies

Powerful digital technologies, in particular Artificial Intelligence (AI), will have a profound impact on sustainability research. For the first time, we can now build sophisticated digital models for different compartments of the earth system. The aim is to employ effective tools to support decision making to address environmental challenges and to explore optimised pathways towards a sustainable way of living.

AI-based models and Digital Twins are a priority for Helmholtz in all research fields. Let us discuss how exactly they will help to shape our future in the Earth and Environment domain: What observational data and tools do we need for Digital Twins? What role will Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models play in their development?

Together with experts from science and policy, The Helmholtz Office Brussels will present current and future applications of Digital Twins and discuss user needs and expectations.

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.
