Programmes Digital EuropeThe European Commission has launched a 12-week open stakeholder consultation on the Digital Europe programme.
The consultation seeks to gain insights into the needs of stakeholders in the digital transformation, the perceived benefits of Digital Europe Programme, and how the programme could be improved.
The consultation targets a broad stakeholder group such as SMEs, academia, social partners, public authorities, and other public and private organisations, NGOs, and citizens from EU Member States and countries associated to the programme.
The feedback received will inform reflections on the potential for simplification and burden reduction within the Digital Europe Programme, as well as help guide the design of future initiatives. It will feed into the mid-term evaluation of Digital Europe.
For more information and to take part in the consultation please visit the consultation page.
The questionnaire is available in English, French and German, contributions are welcomed in any official EU language. Please navigate to “Respond to the questionnaire” to take part.
Deadline to respond to the consultation is 20 September 2024.

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.
