ProgrammesUPDATE: the call deadline has been postponed to 30 September 2021 12:00 Brussels time
A call for expression of interest for European Innovation Council (EIC) Programme Managers is currently open. The European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) aims to establish a reserve list of approximately 15 candidates and to recruit up to 6 candidates.
Apart from funding for research and innovation the EIC has as objective to turn technological breakthroughs out of their (portfolios of) funded projects into business opportunities. The EIC Programme Managers have an important role in guiding this process. EIC Programme Managers are experts in emerging science and technology areas.
In 2019 the first four EIC programme managers were recruited in the areas of health and biotechnology, medical technologies and medical devices, materials for energy and environmental sustainability, innovation management and energy systems and green technologies. The new programme managers are expected to have expertise in other thematic areas. Women are encouraged to apply.
All information on the call for EoI can be found in this EIC news article.

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.
