Webinar on the Blind Evaluation Pilot - Horizon Europe two-stage calls

With the blind evaluation pilot, the Commission wants to tackle concerns of any real or perceived effect of reputational bias that could subvert the awarding decision. Blind evaluation therefore requires that evaluators do not know the consortium and the applicants involved. As a consequence, applicants need to make the necessary adjustments when writing their proposals. To bring clarity about what is expected of applicants, NCP Flanders organised a webinar which took place on 15 June 2023.

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.
