Programmes Digital Europe Advanced Digital SkillsThe European Skills Agenda is a five-year plan to help individuals and businesses develop more and better skills, and to put them to use. It builds on actions set in the EU Skills Agenda (2016) and is linked to the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030, and to the European Industrial Strategy when it comes to the availability of digital skills for the EU industry, mainly SMEs. The European Skills Agenda is formed of four building blocks (join forces, right skills for jobs, tools to support people in live long learning and unlock investments in skills) covering twelve specific actions.
Knowledge of underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element in Digital Europe proposals as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. This Policy Briefing is one of several briefings prepared by DEP4ALL, the NCP Network for the Digital Europe programme, to support applicants with summaries of relevant EU initiatives.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
