The Norwegian Unicerity of Science and Technology (NTNU) has been tasked by the STOA of the European Parliament to coordinate a study leading to the preparation of a report aiming to provide input on how a KIC in the water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems can contribute substantially to secure sustainable innovation, value creation and quality of life for European citizens.

The study is currently led by a team of experts which have also elaborated a survey to collect input from EU stakeholders out of which to elaborate the report outcomes to be presented to the STOA this April 2024.

The survey on sustainable innovation in the fields of water, marine and marine sectors can be accessed by clicking on the active link.

The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on how detailed your responses are, and whether you choose to respond to all parts or not.

Deadline for your input is 26/02/2024 at 23:59h.

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.
