Programmes ERC

The final report and associated inventory of identified trusted repositories represent the output of a study conducted between September 2023 and September 2024 by an independent expert and commissioned by the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA).

The research presented is meant to update the “Study on the readiness of research data and literature repositories to facilitate compliance with  the  Open  Science  Horizon  Europe  Model  Grant  Agreement  (HE  MGA) requirements”, published in 2023. In this study the experts assess and analyse the readiness of research data and literature repositories to facilitate compliance with the Open Science requirements, in particular regarding the metadata of deposited research outputs, in the Horizon Europe Model Grant Agreement.

The final report, the inventory of identified trusted repositories and questionnaire used to survey repository managers are publicly available on Zenodo. A summary of the findings can be found in the summary and conclusions in the final report (p.1-2; 27-28). The purpose of the study is explained in this ERC news article.

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.
