Programmes EITThe European institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) has published the winners of the first call of their initiative “innovation capacity building for higher education”. This will support Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with expertise and coaching, funding, and access to the EIT's innovation ecosystem.
There are 23 selected consortia out of 64 applicants. Three of them involve partners from Flanders notably Karel De Grote Hogeschool (SUA), Ugent (EU Accel) and UA (Inno4YUFE).
These consortia will each be awarded up to 1,2 million euro and will run until 2023. For those HEIs that are interested in this programme it is good to know that a second call will be announced in late 2021. If you want to know more information you can find all the info on this website.
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.
