ProgrammesThe updated MSCA Green Charter and supporting guidance documents have been published last month. The Charter sets out non-binding principles promoting environmental sustainability in research practices, covering topics such as research-related travel and events, resource-intensive research settings, data, hardware and software usage. The Charter is addressed to researchers, research managers, research groups, organisations and consortia participating in projects funded by the MSCA. While the relevance of the charter’s principles and recommendations may vary depending on the MSCA participants and projects, the guidance documents are there to help everyone find the resources they need depending on their own situation.
The next MSCA lunchtime conversation (5 December 12:30-14:00) is about the topic ‘Making AI Sustainable – how can we minimise the environmental cost of AI?’. More information can be found in the webinar announcement.
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.

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.
