Programmes ERC MSCA RI EIC EITInnoNext is a two-year project funded under the European Innovation Council (EIC) with the objective to match visiting researchers with start-ups or SMEs which host the visiting researchers during an internship with a duration of 3 up to 6 months (depending on the EU programme).
The researchers and companies involved are funded by an EU funding programme (ERC, MSCA, RI, EIT or EIC). More detailed information about eligible visiting researchers and hosting start-ups and SMEs is available on the InnoNext website under the section who can apply. The financial support of these internships depends on the EU programme that the visiting researcher is affiliated with.
Within the duration of the InnoNext project it is expected to fund 600 internships. The call for applications is now open for visiting talents and for hosting companies.
All information about this new initiative is available on the project’s website. The resources section and FAQs offer a comprehensive overview already now. In case after exploring the suitability of (hosting) the internship any further questions arise the project partners can be contacted directly.

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.
