SUMMARY:Incubation Forum: Circular Economy in European Defence
DESCRIPTION:Third annual general conference\, organized by the EDA under the auspices of the Belgian Presidency. \nUnder a direct contribution agreement with the European Commission\, the European Defence Agency (EDA) is managing the “Incubation Forum for Circular Economy in European Defence” (IF CEED). \nIF CEED aims at incubating and implementing public-private collaborative circular economy projects in European Defence\, in areas such as critical raw materials\, additive manufacturing\, materials for textiles\, sustainable ecodesign\, as well as in specific aspects of the waste directive: the Eco-management strategy\, green procurement\, circular data and spare parts management. \nAfter two years\, 26 EU Member States and some 300 experts are actively engaged in the IF CEED initiative. \nThe event is anticipated to bring together around 150 participants to take stock of the implementation of the project ideas incubated so far and discuss overarching topics\, such as the contribution of circularity to EU strategic autonomy or circular indicators.

SUMMARY:The convergence of technologies enabling R&I for the healthcare of the future
DESCRIPTION:How can data be used to further stimulate research and development in health? What steps are we taking toward the healthcare of the future? \nConverging technologies\, such as bio-\, and nanotechnologies\, engineering\, digitalisation and big data have transformational power to drive research and innovation towards healthcare of the future. \nProminent academics and policy makers will delve into compelling topics and technologies\, and the potential of the different European partnerships and infrastructures during the captivating two-day conference ‘The convergence of technologies enabling R&I for the healthcare of the future’.  \nNext to a programme full of insightful keynotes\, this conference (on invitation only) is a great opportunity to get more insights into the potential of technologies and innovative approaches for better wellbeing and health. \nThis Belgian presidency conference is coordinated by the Flemish Department for Economy\, Science and Innovation (EWI)\, in collaboration with the Research Department of the Public Service of Wallonia\, the Flemish Department for Care and Sciensano\, and is co-financed by DG RTD of the European Commission. \nMore info here

SUMMARY:Table Top Exercise on Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection (TTX CMIP)
DESCRIPTION:The TTX\, organised by the European Defence Agency (EDA)\, aims to answer the question “what to do when something happens? The exercise will involve different levels of response and will take place in 4 consecutive phases. The final product should enable all Member States to respond in a coordinated manner to incidents targeting critical maritime infrastructure and their direct and indirect consequences. \nGeneral planning: the exercise will start in January 2024 and will continue until the end of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU. There will be several feedback and intermediate conclusions before a final table top exercise\, which will present the results\, evaluations and recommendations on governance and policy. \nPhase 1: The exercise begins with a first phase focusing on maritime situational awareness (MSA) in each of the three participating countries\, Belgium\, the Netherlands\, and Lower Saxony (DE). \nIn this first phase\, each MSA agency will provide its perspectives on existing legal frameworks\, directives\, and command structures. These conclusions will be a first observation at national level\, at all levels of leadership involved\, in cross-border and international cooperation. In addition\, each MSA agency will share its perspective on collaboration with private actors\, “to do”\, “not to do” and best practices to improve maritime situational awareness. \nPhase 2: During this phase\, MSA agencies will meet trilaterally to discuss their assessment\, needs and recommendations\, regarding the status of the MSA\, including critical maritime infrastructure\, detection\, target evaluation criteria\, 24/7 contact points. The goal is to organize a meeting in each MSA agency\, each with a specific focus on the following topics. \n1) National and cross-border governance assessments \n2) National and cross-border recommendations on governance \n3) Policy evaluation to improve national and cross-border governance \nPhase 3: This phase includes targeted meetings with private stakeholders regarding the MSA situation\, including critical marine infrastructure. The evaluation and recommendations will complement the efforts of MSA agencies. National emergency responders for PAHO at sea are also involved in this phase and face preliminary assessment and recommendations. If\, as expected\, national first responders were already involved in Phase 1 and Phase 2\, Phase 3 will refine and consolidate assessments and recommendations and improve existing bilateral agreements and make recommendations for other legal frameworks and guidelines. \nPhase 4 will transfer the efforts of the operational staff involved (MSA and Response) to the core team which will consolidate the results\, evaluate and recommend intermediate conclusions and prepare the table-top closing exercise\, scheduled by the third week of May 2024 \nPreparing a report: The final task of the exercise sponsored by the Belgian Presidency will be a consolidated report. \nMore info here

SUMMARY:Indtech2024: Science and Innovation to empower Europe industrial resilience and economic security
DESCRIPTION:European industry plays a pivotal role in the twin digital and green transition. It acts as a catalyst for these changes while also being directly impacted by them. Simultaneously\, the European industry must strive to uphold their technological leadership and competitiveness in a context of increasing global competition. Indeed\, recent geopolitical and sanitary crisis highlighted the supply chain vulnerability of several key enabling technologies and critical raw materials. \nEurope’s technological capabilities are its best asset to meet the objectives of the Green Deal\, reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and ensure the leadership of its industry\, notably in the innovative materials sector. But the significance of the challenges matches the ambition. New technologies must be developed to enable the European transition to a carbon neutral economy\, but developing low and zero carbon solutions that go beyond the traditional approach will demand close collaboration between the academic and industry worlds. \n\n\nIndtech2024 will be a forum bringing together stakeholders to exchange around specific R&I and policy challenges and stimulate networking. An overarching question we would like to address during Indtech2024 is how R&D policies could be better integrated to ambitious European initiatives to make sure the future of our industry is made in Europe. More specifically\, Indtech2024 will aim to: \n\nIdentify and discuss the research and innovation challenges and opportunities related to the fields of advanced materials and manufacturing and critical raw material supply.\nIdentify\, discuss\, and showcase promising technologies and best practices contributing to the digital and green transition of the industry and the decarbonisation of the energy-intensive industries.\n\nTake stock of lessons learned at the mid-term of Horizon Europe programme and provide recommendations for the way forward\, specifically on how it could articulate better with other European initiatives. \nMore info here
