ProgrammesAt the beginning of the year, The European institute of innovation and technology (EIT) launched the call for a new EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) in the water, marine and maritime sectors and ecosystems. A KIC is a community thet brings together people from the world of business, universities and research institutions. It will address global challenges including: water scarcity, droughts and floods as well as marine and freshwater degradation.
Although the call is still open, The people at the EIT already want to provide a deep inisght into the evaluation process. This will take place online on the 7th of May in the morning. You can find all the details on this webpage.

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.
