ProgrammesAs of 1 January 2024 Belgium takes over the baton from Spain as President of the Council of the European Union until 30 June 2024. During the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union several high-level summits and conferences will take place including in the area of research and innovation. Some of the events will be open to anyone interested and others for a restricted audience only. It is expected that the website for the Belgian Presidency will be launched early December 2023. All the events related to research and innovation and with the Flemish Government Department of Economy, Science and Innovation in the lead will be made available on their website in the event section. The events linked to Horizon Europe and Digital Europe will be included in the NCP Flanders event calendar. You might want to mark these dates already in your diary:

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.
