The Ministry of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Slovenia organises a two day conference on “New European Research Area (ERA) - Towards a responsible knowledge driven society of the 3rd Millennium” which is part of the programme of the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

On the first day a ministerial policy roundtable with speakers from the current Trio Presidency Research Ministers (Germany, Portugal, Slovenia) and forthcoming Trio Presidency Research Ministers (France, Sweden, Czech Republic) is foreseen and a panel discussion with stakeholders (among others European University Association (EUA), European Association of Research and Technology Organisations (EARTO), League of European Research Universities (LERU) followed by a Q&A.

On the second day, parallel “breakout” workshop sessions will take place on four different topics: ERA for Research Infrastructures, ERA for prospective research careers, ERA for Open Science and ERA for economy.

The aim of the conference is to produce recommendations for a better implementation of the new ERA.

The conference is open for everyone willing to shape the ERA. Prior registration is required.

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.
