Programmes Digital Europe AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologiesThe European Commission's Apply AI Strategy explains how the EU moves from developing AI to using it at scale in real economic sectors and public administrations. It is Europe's central sectoral AI strategy. It addresses the industrial and public application of AI and, together with AI in Science, forms the strategic core of the EU AI system under the umbrella of the AI Continent Action Plan. Unlike earlier EU AI initiatives (that focused mainly on research and pilot projects), the strategy places strong emphasis on large-scale deployment, sector ownership and operational use of AI solutions. It focuses on sectoral flagships, AI infrastructures, data spaces, regulatory support, and a European AI-first decision-making logic.
Knowledge of underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element in Digital Europe proposals as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. This Policy Briefing is one of several briefings prepared by DEP4ALL, the NCP Network for the Digital Europe programme, to support applicants with summaries of relevant EU initiatives.

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.
