Programmes SwafSThis European Commission document reports on the Horizon 2020 Science with and for Society (SwafS) science education project portfolio results. The objective of this report is to convey the achievements of the science education projects funded under the SwafS part of Horizon 2020. Its purpose is to serve as input for the preparation of the Horizon Europe programme implementation. It suggests to foresee standalone topics on Science Education, foresee mainstreaming of science education in other parts of the programme, seek links beyond Horizon Europe and explore synergies with similar funding schemes in Europe.
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.
