The Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS) is hosting a thematic workshop on European R&I solutions, as well as future capability needs, relevant for maritime situational awareness and security. The target audience includes practitioners, especially Coast Guards, but also innovators and policy makers on capabilities such as those related to search-and-rescue at sea, sea border surveillance, and other maritime security and safety functions.

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.
