Published on | 2 years ago

Programmes European Digital Innovation Hubs

The Digital Transformation Accelerator (DTA) has the objective to support the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH), to accelerate the digital transformation of the European economy.

The DTA contract has been awarded to a consortium including Consultores de Automatización y Robótica, S.A. (CARSA). Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum, NETCOMPANY INTRASOFT and Cecoforma. They will support and coordinate the consolidation and extension of the European DIH network through community building events and activities, training sessions, collection and analysis of impact indicators, and by taking care of the online presence and external communication of the network.

The DTA contract starts in September 2022; most of the services provided by the DTA to the EDIHs will be available by the end of the year.

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.
