Published on | 4 years ago

Programmes FET  
“This booklet provides a snapshot of the first 30 years of FET. It explains the evolution of the programme, through testimonials of some of the people who shaped its policy aspects, examples of projects and their impact on technology and economy, and profiles of FET researchers, who have been listening out for “voices from the future”.” This publication was produced under the FETFX project, the Coordination and Support Action dedicated to communication and outreach of the Horizon 2020 Future and Emerging Technologies programme, with specific focus to FET Open and FET Proactive, now part of the Enhanced European Innovation Council Pilot (specifically the Pathfinder).

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

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.
