NCP Support

DEP4ALL - Digital Europe NCP Network

About this programme

The DEP4ALL project aims to support DEP NCPs and applicants to increase participation in the Digital Europe Programme and improve the quality of submitted proposals. It ensures capacity building and a robust knowledge base for all DEP NCPs, enabling them to support their national stakeholders in preparing and submitting high-quality DEP proposals. 

Objectives 

  • Support Coordination Among Different NCPs: DEP4ALL focuses on fostering a robust network of NCPs to enhance communication and collaboration. It provides all nominated DEP NCPs with the necessary knowledge and information for their daily work, building on agreed standards to establish a common level of information access and strengthen the sense of community among DEP NCPs.
  • Support the Preparation and Execution of Actions to Maximise Awareness and Impact of the DEP: DEP4ALL aims to raise awareness of opportunities in DEP, making it attractive to new players and enhancing the overall standard of support provided by NCPs. By fostering collaboration and providing comprehensive guidance, the project helps applicants better understand relevant policies and build on existing outcomes from other EU-funded projects.
  • Support the Long-Term Dissemination and Exploitation of Results: DEP4ALL employs various strategies to ensure the long-term dissemination and exploitation of project results. It ensures that NCPs participate in selected events and conferences relevant to the DEP community, actively promoting the programme’s successes and opportunities.
  • Provide Support for all Specific Objectives of DEP: Acting as a single point of contact for NCPs, the project ensures necessary connections with experts in all areas. DEP4ALL's activities build a comprehensive knowledge base covering all call topics within DEP, allowing NCPs to share relevant information with their national stakeholders.

 

Key activities for DEP applicants 

DEP4ALL supports a wide range of activities across Europe. Follow the project on LinkedIn and contact your national NCP for further information. 

  • Matchmaking and Networking Events: DEP4ALL hosts, supports, and promotes various events relevant for stakeholders wanting to apply to the Digital Europe Programme. DEP NCPs organise national info days and other events with the support of DEP4ALL. These promotional events provide information about DEP and its opportunities.
  • Training: DEP4ALL organises online training activities and webinars on various subjects and levels to support applicants before or during the proposal preparation phases.
  • Legal and Financial Support: DEP NCPs assist with major legal and financial questions, such as security and ownership control rules. You can find Legal and Financial Infosheets developed in the frame of the DEP4ALL project on your local NCP website. 
  • Topic Tree: DEP4ALL is collaborating with Horizon Europe Cluster 4 NCPs to develop a Topic Tree to interlink past, current and upcoming DEP call topics and highlight their relationships to other funding programmes (such as Horizon Europe). Please find a link to the Topic Tree here. Contact your local NCP to help you navigate the Tree.

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.
