This website is an important source of information and communication channel with our stakeholders. There is a news section, event calendar and a document and video library which can be searched with key words of your choice.
For each Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Horizon 2020 programme part a dedicated page offers the latest information on these programmes. Cross-programme subjects are summarised in info sheets.
Flemish stakeholders can create a myHORIZON account to receive regular updates in their mail box.
Outside the Horizon and DIGITAL framework programmes many other EU funding sources on research and innovation exist which can be consulted via the EU other funding page. The EU Funding Overview is an exhaustive overview of EU funding programmes and agencies.
Please take a look around and in case you would have any question do not hesitate to get in touch with us!

NCP Flanders guides stakeholders located in Flanders during the whole process of planning of and application to a DIGITAL call topic.
Opportunities and strategy: identification of DIGITAL funding opportunities that match your project ideas and long-term strategy.
Concept validation: optimisation of your project ideas to fit identified DIGITAL opportunities.
The NCP advisor in your field is open to receive your questions from the complete proposal and project cycle about the call topics of the programme of your interest. Get the right contact details of whom to turn to via Contact in the menu on top of the page.
The various work programmes with calls for proposals are drafted by a Programme Committee consisting of delegates of the participating countries in Digital Europe.
A representative from EWI (Department of Economy, Science and Innovation) informs on the drafting process and collects input from stakeholders located in Flanders to bring it on the Belgian and European level, which results in a concrete work programme. You can contact the Digital Europe programme committee delegate from Flanders to provide input such as suggestions for new topics, requests for adaptations on scale, content of proposed projects or feedback on former participants.
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.
