Programmes HealthThe EDCTP Prizes are open for submissions from 11 March until 1 April 2025 via the Funding and Tenders Portal. Deadline to apply is on 1 April, 17:00 CET.
The EDCTP Prizes will recognise outstanding individuals and research teams from Africa and Europe who have made significant achievements in their research field. Additionally, the awardees will have made major contributions to strengthening clinical research capacity in Africa and supporting South-South and North-South networking. The Prizes will be awarded during the Twelfth EDCTP Forum, taking place on 15-20 June 2025 in Kigali, Rwanda.
Contrary to previous editions, applications for the EDCTP Prizes 2025 are to be submitted by the individuals or teams applying for the Prizes, with supporting letter(s) of recommendation from at least one reputable scientist.

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.
