3rd Workshop on European Unmanned Maritime Systems
New challenges for unmanned maritime systems
Being complementarity and cooperation a main focus in Europe, it is also a goal to promote this exchange with recent and current 7th Framework Program as well as national projects under this same area.
The workshop is targeted to both researchers and end-users, and constitutes a privileged forum for discussing new ideas, identifying new trends and paradigms, new business opportunities, as well as the establishment of partnerships, namely in the scope of the European Horizon 2020 Programme. The workshop is open to the representatives of industry, research institutes, academia, and government organizations from EDA Member States and Norway. There will be limited number of available places for non-UMS representatives. Registration will be mandatory.
