Programmes Enhancing EU R&I Horizon EuropeThe Communication ‘Implementation of the European Research Area (ERA): Strengthening Europe’s Research and Innovation: The ERA’s Journey and Future Directions’ has been adopted on 22 October by the Commission.
The Communication takes stock and assesses the progress made since the previous Communication ‘A new ERA for Research and Innovation‘ (2020) in which the four key objectives are laid out:
and identifies remaining challenges which set the direction for future activities.
More information can be found in the European Commission press release, including a factsheet on the Communication and the videos ‘The #EUResearchArea over time: 2000 until today’ and ‘ERA testimonials’.
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 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.
