Programmes MSCAMarie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes (Cofund) foresees co-funding for new or existing regional, national, and international doctoral and postdoctoral training programmes with an international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary research training, and transnational and cross-sectoral mobility of researchers.
For the MSCA Cofound 2020 call, with deadline 29 September 2020, 157 proposals were submitted, which is an increase of 18% compared to the 2019 call. Of these submitted proposals, 19 doctoral and 24 postdoctoral programmes have been approved to receive co-funding. Among these is one application with a Flemish coordinator:
Vrije Universiteit Brussel with fellowship programme “A dedicated postdoctoral research and training programme fostering impact development and entrepreneurship”

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.
