Programmes SecurityThe European Commission would like to gain a better understanding of successful innovations stemming from the EU-funded security research work programme. To this end, the European Commission has created the Security Innovation Award, intended to recognise an innovator involved in EU-funded security research projects that have achieved significant impact.
Applications are open from now until 31 March at 18h00 UTC.
More details on how to apply via this link.
The award is part of a larger, year-long study commissioned by DG HOME to identify the factors influencing the uptake of EU-Funded security research outcomes. The study results, which will be shared with the EU security R&I community, will ultimately help the Commission and other key stakeholders improve uptake rates and pave the way for innovative technologies from R&I to the market and to security operations.
For any questions about the study or the survey, please contact the RAND Europe Project Lead, Julia Muravska (muravska@randeurope.org).

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.
