WEGEMT participated in the meeting of the Industrial Research Advisory Groups (IRAGs) of the Waterborne TP on 22 and 23 October 2019 in Brussels.
The IRAGs are in charge of defining the strategic roadmaps for their domain, based on the technological input from one or more Thematic Working Groups that contribute to the IRAG’s domain. The current IRAGs focus on:
- Ships & Shipping;
- Blue Growth;
- Ports & Logistics.
All major stakeholders of the European maritime industry, such as classification societies, manufacturers, research institutes, shipyards, universities, marine related associations gathered to discuss and finalise the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) of the Waterborne TP for the next European research Horizon. WEGEMT also disseminated appropriate results from EU projects in which it participates (i.e. MATES, IMPRESSIVE, BEOPEN, TRAVISIONS 2020, DriveToThe Future).
