ProgrammesThe Start-up Grant Agreement (SUGA) governing the start-up phase of EIT Water has now been signed. Its main objective is to establish the governance structures and lay the foundations for long-term financial sustainability in line with the EIT’s model.
EIT Water will take on Europe's most urgent water challenges:
EIT Water will also develop its Strategic Agenda and build a growing pan-European network of partners across the water, marine and maritime sectors, expanding its current partnership.
As part of its start-up phase, it is developing a network of Co-Location Centres across Europe, providing access to its services and the EIT’s Europe-wide network for innovators, students, and entrepreneurs. These centres are located in:
• Headquarters – CLC North: Aarhus, Denmark
• CLC United Kingdom and Ireland: Leeds, United Kingdom
• CLC Central and Baltic: Berlin, Germany
• CLC West: Antwerp, Belgium
• CLC Central and Danube: Vienna, Austria
• CLC South: Sibenik, Croatia
• CLC Iberian Peninsula: Malaga, Spain
• CLC Black Sea: Varna, Bulgaria

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.
