Research to reality: Digital Solutions to European Challenges is an event organised under the Belgian presidency in cooperation with the European Commission. 

It will address the following questions:

  • How does Europe gain strategic leadership in key digital technologies, with real benefits for its citizens and businesses?
  • How can Europe's research on digital technologies help to achieve the ambitions of its Digital Decade and of the twin transition?
  • What are the challenges for creating a well-streamlined European digital funding and investment landscape, and how to overcome them?

The first day will feature keynotes, interactive breakout sessions and workshops aimed at creating mutual synergies between digital research in Horizon Europe and actions in the Digital Europe Programme. Inspired by current achievements and by the audience's needs, insights and experience, the conference will aim to develop concrete recommendations and actions for better aligning these major European digital funding and investment programs.

Testimonial

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.
