Programmes Health Culture and society Security Digital, Industry & Space Climate, Energy, Mobility Agro-Food, Environment HorizonEU L+FThe European Commission and New Zealand have concluded the association negotiations of New Zealand to Horizon Europe. New Zealand will become the first non-EU industrialized country that will be associated to Horizon Europe. The association agreement is expected to be signed in the coming months. New Zealand will only associate to Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe. This new development resulted in an update of the list of participating countries in Horizon Europe in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. New Zealand is now considered as a country in view of association and therefore the transitional arrangements will apply. As from the Work Programmes 2023 onwards, New Zealand partners requesting EU funding have to be included as beneficiaries in proposals of Horizon Europe Pillar 2 calls. Please be aware that if at the time of the signature of the grant agreement of the project, the association agreement of New Zealand has not been finalised yet then the status of the New Zealand partner will need to be changed to associated partner and will not be funded through Horizon Europe. In this case the New Zealand partners will need to secure their own funding.

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.
