Programmes HealthThe ISIDORe consortium has recently launched a call for proposals to support scientists with an interest in SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. This open call is a cascade funding initiative offering third parties the opportunity to make use of transnational access to ISIDORe services free of charge. Applications will be evaluated, selected and implemented on a rolling basis as long as funding remains available.
You can request transnational access to ISIDORe for research focused on: Surveillance & epidemic risk management; Understanding SARS-COV-2 & COVID-19; Diagnostics; Therapeutics; Vaccines; Social sciences & epidemiology
More information on the specific topics and how to apply on the project website.
The Horizon Europe funded project ISIDORe assembles the largest and most diverse research and service-providing instrument to study infectious diseases in Europe, with expertise from structural biology to clinical trials. By giving scientists access to the whole extent of its facilities, cutting-edge services and advanced equipment, the project aims to accelerate the generation of new knowledge and intervention tools in order to enhance Europe’s capacity for controlling (re)emerging and epidemic infectious diseases.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
