With its new priority for a European Green Deal the European Commission plans to make EU’s economy sustainable, by turning the climate and environmental challenges into opportunities.

In Horizon 2020 the Green Deal call  has been added to create visible close-to-market R&I projects that can help make the EU fully sustainable by 2050.The call is divided into 8 core themes taclinkg many domains and 2 supporting areas (on knowledge systems and research infrastructure and citizen engagement). More information can be found on the European Green Deal page of our website. 

In preparation of the Research and Innovation days (22-24 september) where all the calls will be presented in detail, we will organize two webinars about this topic:

  • on 9 September (9:30-10:30): is aimed at interested parties that have no previous knowledge of the Green Deal. We will explain the topics in a very summarized way so you can determine if it falls within the scope of your activities
  • on 11 September (9:30-11:00): an expert from the European Commission (Sven Schade) will give his in-dept view into the background of the Green Deal. In the second part of this webinar,  we will give some information on the partnering tools in order for you to form a good consortium for the upcoming calls. We will close it off with a latest update on the EU Research and Industry days.

1 website with more information and 1 registration form is available for both events here.

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

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.
