Digital Large-Scale Partnership and its member Skills Alliances – Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance, Blockchain Skills for Europe Alliance, and Cybersecurity Skills Alliance are organising a matchmaking event to bring together research and innovation stakeholders to explore collaborative ventures for the development of educational programmes in key digital sectors.

It will focus on the opportunities offered by two calls for proposals under the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes, namely:

After a plenary session (15.00-15.40) there will be time for bilateral matchmaking sessions (15.40-17.30) which can be organised via the event website. Please visit this event website for further information and to register to the event.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

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.
