ProgrammesThe Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Day will take place on 1 August 2026 to raise awareness of Marine Protected Areas and their role in protecting the ocean. The global initiative follows a 2025 edition that included 103 events in 39 countries.
MPAs are often described as the sea’s equivalent of national parks. By limiting damaging activities, they can help habitats recover, support marine biodiversity and improve the resilience of coastal communities. MPA Day began in 2021, led by South African organisations, and marks the protection of 20 new or expanded MPAs in South Africa on 1 August 2019. The initiative is now endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. More information is available here.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
