A recent study by European Parliament's Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) investigated the feasibility of creating a large-scale European public infrastructure aimed at addressing vulnerabilities linked to the research, development, production and distribution of medicines.
On this basis, STOA is organising a panel discussion which will bring together experts from biomedical research, representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, and EU and international public health experts. The aim is to discuss the state-of-play of the EU's current pharmaceutical strategy and explore policy options for strengthening EU preparedness and response, including the feasibility of creating an advanced EU pharmaceutical infrastructure for the research and development of novel medicines and treatments. The panel discussion will be moderated by Karin SIPIDO, Head of Experimental Cardiology at KU Leuven, and the panel includes representatives from the European Commission. You can follow remotely or you can join the debate live in Brussels.
More information, the detailed programme and registration is available on the event's webpage.

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.
