The PSO will ensure high work standards among Advanced VHT Platform contractors to achieve the initiative's objectives.
About the VHT initiative: The European Commission launched the European Virtual Human Initiative in 2023 to support the emergence and adoption of the next generation of VHTs in health and care with the aim of advancing personalised care. The cornerstone of the initiative will be an Advanced Platform for VHT models integration and validation (henceforth referred to as VHT Platform). Following a call for tenders, a framework contract for the delivery of the VHT Platform was signed in June 2025.
For more information on the initiative, please visit the Commission's website.
Deadline to respond to the call for tenders is 28 July 2025 (16.00 Brussels time).

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.
