COST and the Joint Research Center (JRC) are jointly organizing a seminar on science for policy.

This seminar will highlight the different ways in which researchers try to achieve policy impact. Focusing on how to bring science to the attention of policymakers, the seminar will address tips, recommendations, challenges, lessons learnt, skills and practices outlined in the COST policy brief ‘Actions to Actions’ and the JRC ‘Science for Policy Handbook’.

Testimonial

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.
