Fuel cell systems are an efficient way of converting chemical energy into electricity so as to reduce emissions and protect the environment. EU-funded research has advanced existing components and designs to develop an optimised version – boosting product lifetime and efficiency, and potential commercial uptake of a sustainable energy solution.

If flaws in infrastructure – a ship or a bridge for example – are spotted early, the damage can be repaired before anyone gets hurt, and before the costs mount. It’s a nice theory, but there are currently many uncertainties in ensuring structural safety, as well as a lack of

The popping of corks and glugging of a good wine may not be at threat just yet, but if the diseases threatening Europe’s vineyards have their way, they could be. EU-funded researchers therefore have very good reason to network around wine – they are building a knowledge bank to help

An EU-funded project has developed and deployed cost-effective marine sensors to monitor and provide a more complete picture of the health of our planet’s oceans. Some of the sensors are already on the market and patents are pending. Powered by WPeMatico
