The Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking has mobilised emergency funding to tackle the ongoing Mpox outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring countries.

With a budget of € 5 million, the emergency call for proposals will support research and innovation projects that will advance our understanding of the ongoing epidemic, contribute to the development of preventive and management strategies and support an efficient public health response.

The topic text and a corresponding news item have been published on the Global Health EDCTP3 website. The topic is available on the Funding and Tenders Portal.

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.
