2) To create better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security with a substantial reduction of traffic congestion
3) To ensure that the European transport industry becomes a global leader
4) To stimulate the socio-economic and behavioral research and forward looking activities for policy making. This way they want to make sure the societal challenges brought upon by the increase of transport are better addressed.

The Horizon2020 project BEAT-AF brings together 9 European renowned clinical centres in France, Belgium, Czechia, Germany and Austria. Together, the consortium strives to revolutionize Atrial Fibrillation (AF) treatment through catheter ablation and contribute to decrease the huge burden of AF in Europe. The BEAT-AF project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2026. The department of electrophysiology of the AZ Sint-Jan Hospital in Bruges is partner in the project and has so far contributed to the pre-clinical development, the first in man studies and first registries of the revolutionary AF treatment put forward by the consortium. The first pilot studies show that the treatment is safe, effective and efficient.
