The Partnership Board governing the Co-Programmed Partnership on Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport in the framework of Horizon Europe has organised its fifth meeting, during which the Board, amongst others, adopted the updated Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda, detailing the roadmap to achieve the objectives set.
The Board adopted the Additional Activities Plan 2024, outlining the investments foreseen by the broader waterborne transport sector.
The partnership aims to lead and accelerate the transformation of waterborne transport (i.e. maritime transport and inland navigation) to eliminate environmental emissions such as GHG, air and water pollutants, through innovative technologies and operations. Its objective is to develop and demonstrate, by 2030, zero-emission solutions applicable for all main ship types and services, paving the way for zero-emission waterborne transport by 2050.
The Partnership Board is the main forum for dialogue and steering by both the Waterborne Technology Platform and the European Commission Services, with the ultimate purpose of reaching the objectives of the European Partnership. The Delegates of the Waterborne Technology Platform represent the broader waterborne transport sector ranging from shipyards, maritime equipment manufacturers, classification societies, research institutes and associations to academia.
