Programmes Climate, Energy, Mobility EITWhat is it about ?
The European institute of innovation and technology (EIT) has nine independant subdivisions called knowledge and innovation communites (KIC). They are a group made up of partners from business, academia and research (innovation) and are funded by the European Union. They regularly launch calls to stimulate new businesses and develop talented people.
The InnoNext Call by EIT Climate-KIC aims to achieve those goals by supporting start-ups and talented EIT graduates that can deliver innovative solutions for pressing climate issues. It is an initiative in collaboration with the European Innovation Council.
It opens fresh opportunities for EIT Community members to participate in fully funded Innovation Internships across Europe. Through this platform, graduates from EIT Label programmes and EIT-supported startups can access tailored placements that connect academic talent with business needs.

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.
