NCP Federal BE, NCP FNRSNCP Brussels and NCP Flanders organised an info session on Gender Equality Plans in Horizon Europe. Under Horizon Europe, Gender Equality Plans will be gradually installed as a new eligibility criterion for public bodies, research organisations and higher education establishments (including private research organisations and higher education establishments) applying to the programme (Horizon Europe General Annexes draft, p.12-13). This info session aimed to shed light on this new eligibility criterion. What is a Gender Equality Plan (GEP), what are the obligatory provisions, what is the structure of a GEP, what are the areas covered and possible examples of GEPs.

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.
