The European Commission and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) have concluded the association negotiations to Horizon Europe. The association agreement will allow South Korean researchers to participate in Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe on the same terms as Member States. The signing of the association agreement is expected to take place in the second half of 2024, pending the completion of all necessary ratification procedures on both sides. This will enable South Korea's participation in Horizon Europe as associated country as of 2025. See this press release for more information.

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.
