ProgrammesAs mentioned in this news item of last week, EIT manufacturing asbl has filed for liquidation. The European Commission has given an update regarding this procedure, through its subsidiary, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).
The view of the European Commission and EIT headquarters is that EIT Manufacturing ASBL is an independent private legal entity, and liabilities towards beneficiaries and third parties rest with that entity. Decisions regarding its future lie with its governing bodies and members, including ensuring sufficient funding for its activities. A liquidator has been appointed on 9 April.
However, they are particularly mindful of the impact of the current situation on start-ups and other beneficiaries of EIT Manufacturing ASBL. To support beneficiaries, the EIT has published a dedicated statement on its website and established a functional mailbox (beneficiarysupport@eit.europa.eu) to respond to queries.
Please note that also the manufacturing day in Vienna is not sure to take place so we would advise you to cancel the registration if you haven't already done so. The European Manufacturing Conference in september 2026 has already been fully cancelled.

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.
