ProgrammesThe BiDS conference is where practitioners, researchers, and users meet to present and discuss the most recent innovations and practical challenges encountered in the context of big data from space. This conference provides an excellent opportunity for JRC scientists to share their knowledge, network with other professionals, and learn about the latest developments in the field.
This edition of BiDS will focus on the technologies enabling insight and foresight inferable from big data and will emphasise how these technologies impact society. It intends to explore and learn how space data-driven insights and foresight can provide a sound basis for evidence-based decision-making to address global societal challenges such as climate change, sustainability, and civil security.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
