Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

The European Commission has launched a call for evidence to help shape the first action plan for women in research, innovation and start-ups. The EU’s action plan will address persistent gender gaps and promote diversity, equality and inclusiveness in the European Research Area (ERA). The plan aims to make the ERA the world’s most attractive place for women to work in research, innovation and startups by 2030. This initiative is aligned with the Choose Europe campaign, promoting the continent's research environment, quality of life and dedication to diversity and inclusion. The call is open to contributions from citizens, businesses, policymakers, academics and civil society organisations. It is open until 23 February 2026 on the Have Your Say portal.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
