Programmes HealthThe Horizon Europe funded ERA4Health partnership has recently launched a new call for projects focusing on 'Modulation of brain ageing through nutrition and healthy lifestyle' - NutriBrain. The aim of the call is to support transnational research projects that focus on the improvement of cognitive brain ageing through nutrition and other lifestyle factors.
Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) participates in this call. More information on available funding for researchers based in Flanders and on how to apply is availabe here. Deadline for the submission of pre-proposals is 15 January 2024. Questions on available funding by FWO? Contact europe@fwo.be . Interested in applying? Join the information webinar here.
On 14 November the EU4Health Partnership will launch another call focusing on 'Nano and advanced technologies for disease prevention, diagnostic and therapy' - NANOTECMEC. Consult the pre-announcement here. An information webinar on this call will take place on 21 November. We will communicate further information on this call & the webinar once it is available.
Background: The Partnership “Fostering a European Research Area for Health” (ERA4Health) aims at establishing a flexible and effective coordination between funding organisations in the European Research Area (ERA) for Health and Well-being. This Partnership brings the opportunity to increase European transnational collaborative research funding by creating a funding body for joint programming in priority areas addressing European public health needs.

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.
