Programmes Security CybersecurityThe Commission launched a call for expression of interest to join the new Industry-Academia Network under the European Cyber Skills Academy.
This network will strengthen the links between industry and academia to boost cybersecurity skills, ensuring the European cyber workforce is adequately equipped to meet growing demands in the sector.
Members of the network will include stakeholders of the Cybersecurity Skills Academy and higher education institutions, European University Alliances, and vocational education and training (VET) providers. They will focus on aligning the needs of the cybersecurity job market with academic and training offerings that suit current and emerging needs of the workforce. Concrete partnerships are expected to emerge, encompassing joint curricula, mentorship programmes, apprenticeships, and other initiatives.
The call will remain open on a permanent basis, however, stakeholders wishing to be part of the network's launch group should apply by 5 January 2025.

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.
