This joint event by the ERC and the European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) builds on an ERC report showcasing pioneering projects that address the urgent transformations needed to tackle climate change and rising social inequality.
The event will delve into the essential conditions that enable fair and inclusive green transitions and the Clean Industrial Deal, an ambitious European Commission initiative aimed at decarbonising EU industry while boosting competitiveness and ensuring energy affordability for all.
Researchers will share groundbreaking insights and real-world solutions illustrating how governments, businesses and communities are driving the shift toward a more sustainable future. Key stakeholders will join the discussion to explore strategies for enhancing the integration of scientific evidence into policymaking, ensuring science directly informs decisions for maximum impact.
The programme and link to the webcast are available in the announcement on the website of the ERC.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
