Important: NCP Flanders will publish any updates (news, events, ...) about a concrete partnership within the programme domain(s) a partnership belongs to.
European Partnerships bring the European Commission and private and/or public partners together to address some of Europe’s most pressing challenges through concerted research and innovation initiatives. They are a key implementation tool of Horizon Europe, and contribute significantly to achieving the EU’s political priorities.
By bringing private and public partners together, European Partnerships help to avoid the duplication of investments and contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the research and innovation landscape in the EU.
There are 3 types of partnerships:
For an overview of the partnership candidates, we refer to the official website of the European Union. You'll find them back by domain:
On the FWO website you can find a list of co-fund partnerships in which FWO participates: https://www.fwo.be/nl/onderzoeksfinanciering/internationale-samenwerking/intra-europese-onderzoeksprojecten/europees-kaderprogramma/horizon-europe-cofund-partnerschappen/
FWO participates in the so-called 'co-funded partnerships', because this is the appropriate instrument within the ERA ecosystem for a research funder such as FWO. In addition to a range of R&I activities, open, external periodic calls for research funding are organized in such a partnership. The latter also form the essence of the FWO participation.
The FWO participation in the European, multilateral partnerships is thus further consolidated, following extensive participation in H2020 programs (including ERA-NET, EJP).
On the VLAIO website you can find a list of networks / co-fund partnerships in which VLAIO participates:

Through VLAIO's participation in international networks, Flemish project partners can receive funding directly from Flanders for their international cooperation on research, development and innovation (R&D&I). The agency uses its existing support programs to realize the financing of the Flemish partners within these networks / partnerships.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

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.
