Programmes Joint Research CenterThe Joint Research Center (JRC), the European Commission’s science and knowledge service, has launched new calls for the purposes of open access to its scientific laboratories and facilities to people working in academia and research organisations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and more in general to the public and private sector. More information on this initiative can be found here or in this JRC Brochure.
It concerns the following calls:
Nanobiotechnology Laboratory - Access Call (Deadline: 21 May 2024)
MONNET, Tandem accelerator based fast neutron source (EUFRAT) – Access Call (Deadline: 30 June 2024)
HADES, Underground laboratory for ultra-low level gamma-ray spectrometry (EUFRAT) – Access Call (Deadline: 30 June 2024)
GELINA, the JRC Neutron Time-of-Flight Facility (EUFRAT) – Access Call (Deadline 30 June 2024)
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
