Programmes ERC ERC

An analysis of 6707 Horizon 2020 ERC projects gives a picture of what projects have been funded per scientific sub domain and the contribution of ERC funded research to three key policy areas of the European Union. The mapping exercise has been compiled in these factsheets:

 

  • European Green Deal 14% of all funded projects contribute to the EGD, of which 9% to the Boosting climate action area
  • Europe fit for the digital age 10% of all funded projects contribute to this policy area, of which 4% to AI
  • EU4Health 34% of all funded projects, of which 9% to brain and human mind research and 8% to cancer research

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.
