ProgrammesAs the UK will leave the European Union on 31 January 2020, the COST Association has published the following announcement:
“Whilst the COST Association regrets the UK leaving the European Union, it respects this decision and welcomes the entry into force of the Withdrawal Agreement between the European Union and the UK as of February 1, 2020.
Until the end of Horizon 2020, the current Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, the COST Association will keep funding the UK affiliated participants in all COST activities.
In this context, all measures adopted in 2019 in view of a potential no-deal Brexit are withdrawn.
At this stage, there is no indication on the potential eligibility of UK affiliated participants (including Grant Holders) under Horizon Europe as this will depend on the Free Trade Agreement negotiations between the UK and the EU. The COST Association will therefore attentively follow the developments of Brexit and act in the best interests of the European research and innovation community.”
More information can also be found on the Brexit page of the COST Association.

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.
