Find out what's happening in the area of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Horizon 2020
We would like to draw your attention to the following cascading calls for proposals. This is an update of the overview we published in summer.
A cascading call is a funding mechanism where a larger project, already funded by Horizon Europe or other funding programme, distributes part of its funds to smaller projects through its own call for proposals. As an applicant to a cascading call, you would be applying to receive a portion of the funding managed by this larger project.
From your perspective, this process involves finding a cascading call that aligns with your project's goals and submitting a proposal to the organization managing the larger project. If your proposal is successful, you'll receive funding to support your research or innovation activities. This approach allows Horizon Europe to efficiently distribute funds to a wider array of smaller projects, encouraging diverse and innovative contributions to the overarching goals of the program. Essentially, you're benefiting from a secondary layer of funding opportunities, making it easier for smaller or more niche projects to access financial support.

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.
