EIT Food launches Biotech Innovation Call 2025

Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Agro-Food, Environment EIT

The EIT Food is one of the nine knowledge and innovation communities supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). They have now launched the Biotech Innovation Call that invites applications for funding projects. The proposal should address one or both of the following challenges:

  • Design sustainable Downstream Processing to increase energy/water savings;
  • Develop Real-time Process Monitoring and Control technologies.

The EIT food is particularly interested in the following type of initiatives, that address the two above-mentioned challenges:

  • new R&D and commercialisation projects with good prospects of getting to market within 12 months.
  • existing research project teams who have a commercialisation or impact plan that needs follow-on funding to get to market. These do not have to be previous EIT Food projects – we can support projects previously funded by other EIT organisations, EU programmes and third-party funders – but projects currently receiving EU funding for the same activity are not eligible.
  • projects that develop and market new applications and business models for existing technology. This includes transferring proven technology from other sectors into the food industry. Run scale-up activities for high impact products or services that already have promising results.

The estimated budget is about 3 million euros and the envisaged maximum amount per project is about 400k euros. There will be a webinar on the 9th of october to answer all questions and for more details, visit this official webpage

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.
