On 20 January 2023, the European Commission launched the European Green Capital and European Green Leaf awards 2025. These Awards promote and reward the efforts of European towns and cities striving to improve the quality of life for their inhabitants and reduce their impact on the local and global environment.
The Awards are open to towns and cities: the European Green Capital Award is open to cities with over 100.000 inhabitants, while the European Green Leaf Award is open to all towns and cities with 20.000 to 99.999 inhabitants. Applicants will received the application forms and have until 30 April 2023 at 23:59 CEST (GMT +2) to submit them. Green City Accord (GCA) signatories are particularly encouraged to apply. You can learn about GCA becoming a signatory here.
The winner of the Green Capital Award will receive €600.000 and up to two cities will receive €200.000 each as Green Leaf winners. The financial prize contributes to support the winning cities in implementing initiatives and measures to enhance their environmental performance and reach out to citizens, especially during their winning year.

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.
