What is FRONTIERS?
FRONTIERS is the science journalism initiative funded by the European Research Council (ERC) to design a residency programme for science journalists wishing to experience an immersive period in a European research institution.
The FRONTIERS project is set to run from 2023 to 2027. During this time, the FRONTIERS team plans four calls to enable up to 40 science journalists to spend time with research teams, working on their own reporting ideas at institutions of their choice. Fellows and residency projects from previous rounds can be consulted here.
While backing independent science journalism, FRONTIERS hopes to contribute to the public trust in scientific institutions and in the scientific method itself, to ensure European citizens have access to reliable and accurate scientific reporting, to tackle misinformation and disinformation, ultimately contributing to more informed policymaking and a more scientifically literate society.

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.
