CERIS Annual event on research for fighting crime and terrorism: An exploration into cross-cutting issues:

1) online harms 

2) involvement of practitioners in security research

DG HOME is organising this two-day annual event with the aim of facilitating and stimulating the discussion and exchanges among security research practitioners, policy makers, researchers, civil society and industry on cross-cutting topics that have a broad and horizontal impact on research and innovation in this domain.

The first day of this event will be dedicated to the discussion on online harms, from exploring their current spectrum to analysing emerging and future techniques and technologies related to online harms. During this day, we will also discuss how the AI Act will affect the fight against online crimes.

The second day of the event will look at understanding which possible challenges our practitioners (police authorities, NGOs/CSOs and forensic institutes) face regarding their participation in security research consortia, and discuss good and bad practices in this regard.

The goal of the two-day event is to facilitate the sharing of experiences and research findings to identify current achievements, possible synergies, and inspire each other while strengthening collaboration on European level.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

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.
