Programmes EITThe European Commission wants contracting authorities to take up a more R&D intensive approach and contribute to the take-up of innovative products. To this purpose they have set-up a large initiative on Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) and Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI). Some of these calls are launched within the Horizon Europe Framework. More information can be found on this infosheet. These are the PCP and PPI calls from the Horizon Europe Work Programma 2025

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.
