Published on | 3 years ago

Programmes Horizon Europe  

On 28 January an informal agreement was reached, between de European Parliament rapporteurs and representatives of the Portuguese Council presidency, on an update of the legal basis (regulation) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) as well as its new Strategic Innovation Agenda (SIA) for 2021-2027. The budget of EIT is increased with € 600 million, compared to the previous funding period (2014-2020), which is set at € 2.96 billion (2021-2027). The Strategic Innovation Agenda among others aims to increase the regional impact of Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) and innovation capacity of higher education institutions. In addition to the eight existing KICs, the launch of two new KICs is foreseen in 2022 (cultural and creative sectors and industries CCI) and 2025 (water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems). The Council can only formally adopt the EIT regulation and decision for the Strategic Innovation Agenda after the Horizon Europe regulation has been adopted.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.

NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
