The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission has launched a new call in the framework of JRC Open Access to its Research Infrastructures. This is the first call launched by the EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing. 

The Call offers access to the JRC in vitro High Throughput Testing (HTT) laboratory. This opportunity is available to users who wish to automate their in vitro methods to assess their transferability, reliability, and overall performance. By generating large datasets from bespoke compound libraries, this initiative supports the evaluation of a method’s relevance for specific applications and advances the implementation of non-animal approaches to toxicological testing for the regulatory safety assessment of chemicals.

The call deadline is 31 March 2025

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

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.
