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.

UrbanAIR - Digital Twin for Urban Climate Action

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01-03) and running from 2025 to 2028, UrbanAIR develops advanced digital twins that simulate the interactions between urban climate, human behaviour, and policy choices. These models enable cities to explore what-if scenarios, such as new green infrastructure, mobility measures or building designs, and assess their impacts on health, safety and social equity. The project consortium consists of 18 partners from 11 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Vito in this testimonial.
