Programmes AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologiesThe European Commission has opened a call for tender for the Procurement of the Technical Specifications for the Local Digital Twins (LDTs) Toolbox.
The aim of this procurement is to define the technical specifications of this Local Digital Twin (LDT) Toolbox. Economic operators interested in this call are invited to submit a tender via the electronic submission system (e-Submission) available from the TED e-Tendering website.
In order to propose the technical specifications of the LDT toolbox to be later developed and deployed (see DIGITAL workprogramme 2021-2022, section 2.2.1.2.3), this procurement needs to:
The reason for purchasing this work is to make the best possible set of tools and their technical specs for the toolbox procurement, prepared by a relevant consortium, given that this expertise is not easily available in house.
Economic operators interested in this call are invited to submit a tender via the electronic submission system (e-Submission) available from the TED e-Tendering website:

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.
