Programmes Horizon EuropeThe European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG R&I) has launched a study to gain “a better understanding of, first, knowledge ecosystems across the European Research Area (ERA) and, second, the interactions between its actors (both organisations and individuals) with a view of formulating policy recommendations for the strengthening of these ecosystems.” The study runs from January 2021 to April 2022.
As part of this study a questionnaire is currently open on the topic “Jobs in research: skills, social security and working conditions”. This questionnaire is addressed to researchers and remains open until 17 May. The questionnaire can be found here as well as an introduction and endorsement letter from the European Commission on the background and aims of the two-year study.
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.
