ProgrammesThe European Commission is organising a brokerage event for the Digital Europe call Virtual Worlds Test Beds.
The Virtual Worlds Test Beds will support testing, experimentation, and integration of virtual worlds, immersive and extended reality technologies in specific sectors, targeting both industrial and societal applications. They will focus on validating mature technologies and solutions that have already been tested in laboratories, in order to confirm their performance in real-world environments.
The brokerage event will feature a presentation by the European Commission, a dedicated session for questions and answers, and the opportunity for potential applicants to pitch their proposal ideas during dedicated breakout sessions.
The event is open to participants from organisations based in EU Member States and in countries associated with the Digital Europe Programme. Registrations are open until 28 November 2025.
Background:
Two Virtual worlds Test Beds will be funded: one aiming to maximise the uptake of virtual worlds solutions in industry, by supporting industrial applications such as manufacturing, construction or industrial design, and the other to promote similar outcomes in societal applications, including education and training, cultural heritage and other cultural experiences, public administration or healthcare.

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.
