Programmes Agro-Food, Environment EITThe European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) tries to build the bridge between promising innovations and succesful start-ups. To this purpose they give guidance and financial assistance to aspiring entrepreneurs. One of the instruments of the subdivision EIT food is the Impact Funding Framework for which the sixth call for proposals was recently launched.
The call consists of two parts. One financial instrument is aimed at collaborative proposals while the other one focuses at single project funding.
The collaborative project should be situated in one these 3 key areas
The 3 main topics of the single projects are as follows:

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.
