AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologies

The Digital Europe project LDT4SSC (Local Digital Twins for Smart and Sustainable Communities) has launched an Open Call for Pilots to engage European local and regional authorities, as well as a wide range of stakeholders, including public administrations at local, regional, and national levels, businesses, technology developers, suppliers, research institutions, and academia, in building a networked ecosystem of Local Digital Twins (LDTs).

This third round of calls focuses on Interconnecting, Creating & Enhancing Local Digital Twins and is divided into three work strands:

  • Work Strand 1 – Inter-connection of existing Local Digital Twins (LDT)
  • Work Strand 2 – Creation of LDTs based on common needs
  • Work Strand 3 – Adding new and advanced AI services to the EU LDT Toolbox

All information on the call, including eligibilty criteria, funding conditions and the application process can be found on the Funding & Tenders Portal and on the website of the LDT4SSC project.

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.
