Follow this link to use our new 'Draft work programme finder': Comitology Tool | NCP Flanders
Background: The Horizon Europe and Digital Europe work programmes take months to draft and involve extensive consultations with member state officials and stakeholders. During this process, several versions of the different parts of the work programme are produced & discussed. Recently, the European Commission took the decision to publicly release these drafts of the different parts of the work programmes. This with the aim to make the work programmes more transparent and accessible to all stakeholders, also early on in the process.
As a result, draft versions of the upcoming Horizon Europe work programme 2026-2027 and amendments of the Digital Europe work programme 2025-2027 are now published on the comitology register. However, as it is cumbersome to navigate the register, NCP Flanders has developed a tool which browses the register and attempts to detect all available drafts and marks it with "Draft Work Programme", allowing stakeholders to easily find the different documents.
! Note that there may be several months of delay between the existence of a draft work programme (part) and its publication in the register. Also note that this is an automatic tool, so mistakes are possible. If you notice something or have feedback to improve this tool, don't hesitate to contact us at info@ncpflanders.be.

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.
