Programmes Culture and societyThe European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) will launch a new Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) focusing on the Cultural & Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI).
This new EIT KIC will deliver innovative solutions to help the cultural and creative sectors and industries become stronger and more resilient by uniting cultural and creative organisations from business, higher organisations and research in a pan-European innovation ecosystem. This new community will train the sector’s future entrepreneurs, power its cutting-edge ventures, and deliver innovative solutions to the challenges facing the sectors. It would also bridge regional innovation gaps and harness the power of these sectors to support Europe’s cultural leadership.
To learn more on this new Knowledge and Innovation Community on Cultural & Creative Sectors and Industries you can also have a look at this factsheet.
On 21 April 2021 at 14:00 - 15:30 (CET), EIT will organize the EIT webinar - New innovation opportunity for CCSI. During this webinar you will find out more about EIT’s upcoming Call for Proposals to boost innovation in the Cultural & Creative Sectors and Industries and how organisations from business, higher education and research can be involved in this new KIC. More information on this webinar can be found on the event’s webpage.

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.
