Programmes
Digital Europe

Experts drawn from EU Institutions, industry and academia, will discuss in 10 sessions over 5 days the latest innovations in digital infrastructures, addressing how we could expand our connectivity whilst optimising existing systems.

CONNECT University Autumn School 2022 will host an entire week on the major pillars of the digital infrastructure of the EU, exploring how this decade’s state-of-the-art solutions fit over existing ones, fostering a circular economy system while ensuring a high degree of security. Topics will include Gigabit Coverage, Microchips, Edge Computing, Data Servers, Web 3, High Performance Computing, Industrial Platforms, and 5G & Future Mobile Generations.

The speakers will discuss with the audience how these systems might evolve in the coming decade, what barriers they may face and the way digital infrastructures and technologies can interact with legacy systems in a sustainable and resource-efficient manner.

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.
