ProgrammesThe European Innovation Council (EIC) organises the online-only 2026 Pathfinder Challenges Info Day. It consists of a plenary session explaining the specific characteristics of EIC Pathfinder Challenge calls, and parallel sessions led by the EIC Programme Managers Paolo Bondavalli, Uschi Symmons and Hedi Karray in which they will present their Challenges.
Attendees have the possibility to briefly (max 2 minutes) present themselves and describe their competences relevant to their Challenge of interest and to explore the possibility of a joint application with other attendees of the Info Day. In order to do so, please register here by 16 March 2026, and indicate that you want to participate in this exercise. You will be then contacted directly before the event. You also will be asked to send your slides with your contact details to EISMEA-01@ec.europa.eu by 18 March 2026.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to
a personalised dashboard that groups all news updates and event announcements in your domain(s).

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.
