The European Partnership 'Transforming Health & Care Systems' (THCS) pools a critical mass of European, national, and regional and international scientific resources to address more efficiently similar challenges faced by health and care systems in Europe and beyond.
The partnership aims to create new knowledge and scientific evidence but also to co-design new solutions & support their transfer and scale-up across countries and regions.
The THCS consortium is mainly composed of a network of Ministries of Research & Innovation, Research & Innovation Funding Organisations and Ministries of Health or Regional Health & Care Authorities. It gathers partners from 64 organisations established in 23 EU Members States and associated countries.
Flanders is represented in the consortium by the Flanders Innovation & Entrepreneurship (VLAIO). Located in Flanders & interested to participate? Find out more on the dedicated VLAIO webpage.
Who can participate in Flanders? The target group is broad. All Flemish companies (both SMEs and large companies) that want to carry out a challenging and risky R&D project together with foreign companies, healthcare organizations and/or knowledge institutions can submit a project proposal.
You can register to the THCS newsletter here to be kept informed about future opportunities.

Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
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.
