Formalised under the structure of an institutionalised public-private partnership which ensures that research activities of the aviation industry are aligned with the European Union’s policy priorities, the Clean Aviation JU's programme focuses on three main areas:
These three main areas of research and development are further discussed in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA).
The Clean Aviation JU has various operational objectives compared to 2020 state-of-the-art aircraft:
Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking builds on its predecessor, the Clean Sky 2 JU programme. The latter will continue to run until 2024. Clean Sky 2 JU will have delivered more than 140 demonstrators (of which 34 flagship demonstrators) contributing to the flagship demonstrators, and more than 1000 technologies by the end of the programme.
As an institutionalised partnership, the Clean Aviation JU does not publish the call for proposals in the regular Horizon Europe work programmes. Rather, Clean Aviation publishes their own work programmes.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
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.
