As communicated before in this news article the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the European Commission have finalised the negotiations regarding the association of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) to Horizon Europe in March 2024. Signing of the association agreement will be expected to take place in 2025.

As of 1 January 2025 the transitional arrangements are also applicable to the Republic of Korea which enable South Korean entities to be added as beneficiaries to projects proposals in the calls and activities of pillar 2 of the Horizon Europe programme from the 2025 Work Programme onwards. However do keep in mind that if at the time of the signature of the grant agreement of the approved project, the association agreement has not been signed yet then South Korean partners will need to fund their own participation in the 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.
