Programmes Health
  • Multiple Sourcing Framework Contracts to Speed up the Development of and Access to Innovative Medical Countermeasures: Next-Generation Influenza Vaccines 

    Scope: this call for tenders seeks to accelerate the development of next-generation, rapidly scalable influenza vaccines with innovative production platforms, novel administration routes, broad protection against pandemic influenza A viruses, and intrinsic immunogenicity, through a phased Pre-Commercial Procurement process. This is a competitive procedure with negotiation with a maximum contract duration of 98 months.

    Deadline: 19 May 2025
  • Development of a rapid point-of-care antimicrobial susceptibility testing diagnostic medical device

    Scope: this call for tenders seeks to accelerate the development of rapid point-of-care diagnostic devices providing antimicrobial susceptibility results within one hour, ideally with pathogen identification, targeting priority bacterial and fungal pathogens, progressing from TRL 3+ towards CE marking and TRL 8 qualification. This is a competitive procedure with negotiation with a maximum contract duration of 48 months.

    Deadlin: 12 May 2025
  • Speed up the access to and uptake of an Mpox vaccine

    Scope: this call for tenders aims to generate scientific evidence on the immune response to the MVA-BN vaccine, focusing on the need and optimal timing of booster doses through Phase II and/or III clinical trials, comparing intradermal and subcutaneous administration, to inform public health strategies, EU policies, and stockpiling initiatives. This is an open procedure with a maximum contract duration of 36 months.

    Deadline: 21 April 2025

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.
