Flemish participation in European Framework Programmes continues to increase

Published on | 2 years ago

Programmes
Horizon Europe

The scientific institutions and companies located in Flanders succeed in acquiring a growing budget from the European Framework Programmes. Flanders, as a small region, clearly punches above its weight in this internationally competitive environment. This comes out of a new report recently published by EWI, the Departement of Economy, Science & Innovation.

The report shows that 2 of the 5 Flemish universities are in the top 5 of most succesful participants in Europe. It also indicates that, based on the return compared to number of inhabitants, Flemish participation is in 4th place in Horizon 2020 and, with the data already available, currently in the 8th place for Horizon Europe.

The report also shows that Flanders scores well in the field of fundamental and strategic basic research. For applied research, Flanders scores highly in the areas of ICT, health, food and the bioeconomy. 'Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society' can also count on special interest and very large participation.

Horizon Europe's major innovation is the introduction of Missions. In these missions, Flanders mainly has a large share of participation and budget in the Soil Mission & Ocean Mission.

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.

The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
