The publication of the work programmes 2021-2022 of the Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) is expected for late October/early November, to be followed shortly after by the first calls for the programme. NCP Flanders and the Departement of Economics, Science & Innovation (Departement EWI) jointly organised a kick-off meeting on 20 October 2021 to inform stakeholders in Flanders about the content of the programme, its implementation and the support NCP Flanders can give to interested stakeholders.

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.
