Abstract submission and registration are open for the first European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare Scientific Conference. The event is set to take place in Milan, Italy, from 19 to 22 January 2027 and invites contributions from both EUP AH&W members and non-members. Abstracts are due by 31 August 2026.

The conference is designed to bring together researchers working on animal health and welfare across terrestrial and aquatic systems. The programme is not final yet but will aim to cover prevention and control of infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, animal welfare monitoring, diagnostics, vaccines, treatments, and integrated approaches including socio-economic aspects.

Abstracts should be in British English, present new scientific results on animal health and welfare, and stay within 2,000 characters, with one abstract allowed per presenting author. Feedback on submitted abstracts is expected around mid-October 2026. This is the submission form.

Registration is also open for the main conference.  Early bird registration runs until 31 October 2026, regular registration until 9 January 2027, and on-site registration is subject to seat availability. More information is available here

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.
