Mapping of ERC Frontier Research

Published on | 3 years ago

Programmes ERC ERC

An analysis of 6707 Horizon 2020 ERC projects gives a picture of what projects have been funded per scientific sub domain and the contribution of ERC funded research to three key policy areas of the European Union. The mapping exercise has been compiled in these factsheets:

 

  • European Green Deal 14% of all funded projects contribute to the EGD, of which 9% to the Boosting climate action area
  • Europe fit for the digital age 10% of all funded projects contribute to this policy area, of which 4% to AI
  • EU4Health 34% of all funded projects, of which 9% to brain and human mind research and 8% to cancer research

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.
