Report on good practices from European University Alliances Projects (pilot II)
This report presents a selection of good practices from the 22 Pilot II European University Alliance projects (alliances SwafS projects hereafter) funded under the Horizon 2020 IBA-SwafS-Support-2-2020 call. The report builds on a previous Progress of University Alliance Projects report on the 17 Pilot I alliances SwafS projects funded under the Horizon 2020 IBA[1]SwafS-Support-1-2020 call. Unlike the Pilot I report, which provided a consolidated analysis on the challenges and intermediate progress of the Pilot I projects, this report only presents various good practices from the Pilot II projects.
Potential good practices were first identified for each Pilot II alliance SwafS project, based on descriptions of activities in the intermediate policy briefs, periodic reports, deliverables, and reviewer assessments. One good practice was then selected from each alliance SwafS project based on the criteria that the good practice should be (1) administratively and technically feasible, (2) effective and successful, and (3) replicable and adaptable. The report offers a total of 22 good practices of R&I activities across the Pilot II alliances SwafS projects.
The 22 good practices are evenly divided across the 7 areas of institutional change or ‘transformational modules’ proposed by the European Commission to enact institutional change in R&I in Europe via the newly-formed University Alliances: (1) Developing a Common R&I Agenda (2) Strengthening Human Capital (3) Sharing Resources and Infrastructures (4) Cooperating with Non-academic Actors (5) Mainstreaming Open Science (6) Engaging Citizens and Society (7) Exploring Joint University Structures.
Each good practice is accompanied by relevant information about the alliance as well as a title, description, and links to key websites and files related to the good practice. The descriptions are not intended to be extensive but serve to summarise the good practices. The report does not present all good practices from the alliances, but only showcases interesting examples of transformational changes across the Pilot II alliances SwafS projects. The report closes with conclusions on the good practices and recommendations for the European University Alliances on their R&I dimension. (from executive summary of the study)

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.
