It goes without saying, the main sources of information on the call topics are the Funding & Tenders Portal and the Work Programmes. You can find direct links on each of the (sub)programme pages of this website.
However, sometimes you are just in need of a good overview to quickly find back relevant information or to follow-up certain initiatives in your organisation. This is why NCP Flanders provides, as an extra service, Excel files with the essential call topic information. For now, this exists in 2 variants, and the information in both is exactly the same:
Any client feedback (on the format, on the content, ...) is welcome. Simply send a mail to info@ncpflanders.be with your comments and suggestions.
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.
