ProgrammesThe European Ocean Days are set to take place from 2 to 6 March 2026 in Brussels. The event will host a series of gatherings focused on ocean protection, innovation, and collaboration. It aims to bring together various stakeholders, including policymakers, scientists, and industry leaders to discuss and promote concrete actions for safeguarding ocean and water resources.
This edition will feature a programme with thematic sessions addressing the European Ocean Pact's implementation, presentations of innovative projects at the Mission Ocean and Waters Forum and activities aimed at enhancing ocean literacy and blue skills. The event seeks to strengthen cooperation across sectors, inspired by the European Ocean Pact.

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.
