This two-day event in Brussels for security policymakers, practitioners and researchers is the inaugural symposium of the Horizon Europe-funded Engage2innovate security research project. Speakers and delegates will discuss empowering impactful security R&I outputs.

Realising Security Innovation will present and discuss the results of E2i research examining what constitutes real security innovation including:

  • How can the implementation and impact of European security innovation be increased?
  • How might security researchers, practitioners and policymakers be inspired and enabled to deliver more effective and impactful innovation?
  • What tools and approaches might help security R&I projects build implementation into their 'solutions' more effectively — transforming them from 'inventions' into true 'innovations'?

Realising Security Innovation will open with a keynote address from Nicolas Bessot, Head of Innovation and Security Research Unit at the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs of the European Commission.

The symposium will include presentations, discussions and — on day 2 — a DesignLab workshop. This interactive group session will explore the potential for human-centred social innovation as an enabler of security solutions, and collaboratively investigate and develop conceptual models that might describe this.

Realising Security Innovation will critically explore different approaches said to foster the implementation of R&I project outputs — including end-user and citizen engagement, Social Innovation, and Responsible Research & Innovation (RRI).

Registration for this event is now open here.

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.
