The Belgian Royal Higher Institute for Defence and US Army DEVCOM and US Office of Naval Research – Global are inviting you to this second bilateral workshop on defence research. The aim of the event is to familiarize the Belgian Research community with available funding mechanisms and to identify and share new, crazy and potentially disruptive ideas (as opposed to discussing past successes).
The “Forging the future – BE-US joint effort in science for a safer world” workshop will be the second edition of this event introducing Belgian research and technology community to representatives from the Belgium Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the United States of America – Department of Defence (DoD). This meeting will provide academic institutions, research institutions, industries (big and small cap) and government representatives with the opportunity to discuss emerging research and technologies across a broad range of topic areas with the goal of building collaboration across the research community and with government agencies.
The workshop programme will be built around five topical areas where researchers will be presenting 10-minutes “lightning” talks describing their blue sky, crazy ideas.
Topic areas: quantum, biotechnologie, AI, autonomy, hypersonics material sciences.
This event will also offer the occasion for networking opportunities and the possibility of bilateral talks with BEL Defence and/or US Defence funding authorities.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
