ProgrammesThe “Agridataspace” preparatory action, one of several data space-related projects financed by the Digital Europe programme, has concluded its activities and delivered recommendations for the roll-out of the Common European Agricultural Data Space (CEADS).
The project aimed at preparing a Common European Agricultural data space (CEADS) that facilitates data sharing, processing, and analysis in a secured, trusted, transparent and responsible manner. Deployment should lead to an increase in the sector’s performance and boost data-driven innovations – both on the private and public side. The CEADS, originally announced under the European Strategy for Data, will support the acceleration of the twin digital and green transitions in the sector, for the reduction of administrative burdens, and providing the foundation for the application of powerful, newly emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
A policy brief (.pdf) has been published to outline the proposed approach for the data space, as it regards governance and business models, and the blueprint for a technical reference architecture. In addition to discussing the enabling framing conditions, the document particularly reflects on how the different stakeholders can contribute to the implementation of the data space: policy-makers at EU and national levels, sectoral organisations, including farmers’ and producers’ organisations and cooperatives, industry, especially agricultural machinery manufacturers, and innovators, such as start-ups.
The Common European Agricultural Data Space will be one among many sectoral Common European Data Spaces.

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.
