Deployment: Best use of technologies

The European Commission has published a new call: MCP on Innovative and Connected Public Administrations (DIGITAL-2026-BESTUSE-MCP-09-INNOV-ADMIN).

The Multi-Country-Project (MCP) funded under this call is supposed to bring together Member States and countries associated to the Digital Europe Programme, to jointly identify needs, deploy and develop interoperability solutions for cross-border digital public services. The overarching objective is to support activities for the implementation of the Interoperable Europe Act.

The call will open on 20 January 2026, deadline to submit proposals is 19 May 2026.

Detailed information on the call can be found in the call document

Background:

MCPs are and new instrument: large-scale deployment and capacity-building projects fostering the digital transformation of the Union. These projects promote coordinated investments among the EU, Member States and private stakeholders enabling digital infrastructure projects that a Member State alone could not deploy on its own. They reinforce the Union’s technology excellence and industrial competitiveness in critical technologies, support an interconnected, interoperable and secure Digital Single Market and address  strategic vulnerabilities and dependencies of the Union along the digital supply chain.

ANERIS - Next generation tools for sensing and monitoring marine-life

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01) and running from 2023 to 2026, the ANERIS project aims to tackle the rapid loss of ocean biodiversity. The project’s main objective is to develop, test and implement the next generation of scientific instrumentation tools and methods for sensing and monitoring marine-life. Another key concept of the project is the introduction of the concept of Operational Marine Biology (OMB) as a biodiversity information system. The project consortium consists of 25 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner VLIZ in this testimonial.
