Funded through Horizon Europe, the 135 new projects are expected to play a crucial role in advancing the European Union's ambitions and commitments outlined in the EU Green Deal

The EU Circular Economy Action Plan, the EU Zero Pollution Action Plan, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy Action Plan, EU Soil, EU Biodiversity, EU Forests, and EU Farm-to-Fork strategies are some of the EU policies and strategies that these EU-funded projects will also support through their innovative and sustainable solutions.

The projects, funded through a Horizon Europe 2023 call, will:

  1. Reduce environmental degradation
  2. Halt and reverse the decline of biodiversity
  3. Better manage natural resources
  4. Ensure food and water security

The projects have signed their Grant Agreements with the European Commission. Some of them have already begun their research while some will commence shortly.

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.
