The ERC Scientific Council has listened to the concerns from members of the research community about the recent announcement on changes to the resubmission rules. The changes, intended to manage the surge in demand for ERC grants, pertain to calls for proposals in the forthcoming 2027 ERC Work Programme.

The Scientific Council has decided to readjust some of the announced changes related to resubmissions. Its response to the community is set out in a letter signed by ERC President Maria Leptin on behalf of the Scientific Council, published on the ERC website today. In a footnote of the published letter the adjustments can be found.

The Scientific Council will explain their thinking and responses to the proposals from the community in a separate document to be published on the ERC website in due course.

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.
