The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) works to promote innovation across Europe by connecting businesses, education, and research. It focuses on addressing societal challenges through technology and entrepreneurship.

The EIT has set-up multiple communities which aim at cross-sectoral fertilisation of ideas. One of the newest additions is the EIT AI community. To foster bold ideas, this community has now launched The AI Challenge 2025 allowing teams to compete in creating innovative AI applications that can tackle various issues. There is at the same time a call out to cities, corporates, public institutions and other stakeholders to submit their pressing data- and AI-related challenges so this is really a call that works in both directions. This should result in a matchmaking engine to put Europe's brightest minds to work on your most complex problems!

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.
