Programme of the info day in brief
During the Info Day, after some general presentations, the EIC Programme Managers Carina Faber, Franc Mouwen, Ivan Stefanic, Isabel Obieta and Stela Tkatchova will present in parallel sessions their 2024 EIC Pathfinder Challenges. After the presentations from the Programme Managers, the participants in each of the parallel sessions will have the possibility to briefly (2–5 minutes) present their ideas for a project on the topic of the session and/or describe their competences relevant to the Challenge of interest, in order to explore the possibilities for joint work with other participants.
Registration to attend the event in person is mandatory. As places are limited it is encouraged to register quickly. Only the general presentations of the Info Day will be livestreamed. All sessions, both general and Challenge-specific, will be recorded and made available for viewing afterwards.
All information related to the event, including the registration form, are availabe in this announcement.

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.
