Programmes Horizon EuropeThe 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.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
