Data drives the internet as we know it. Getting it from one place to another, fast and unfettered, is one of the greatest challenges facing networks as the growth in video and other heavy applications show no signs of abating. European and Taiwanese network experts joined forces to prepare for
Robotics, Health, Environment, Energy – the progress in all of these research fields will strongly shape our common future: driving the development of future generations of robots helps to ensure they will truly benefit society in a sustainable way; understanding human cells during disease could revolutionize healthcare. We want to
China offers a huge variety of business and research opportunities and is on its way to become the No. 1 world economy. Scientists and entrepreneurs need to get familiar with the Chinese innovation landscape and develop their own strategy how to approach and deal with Chinese research or business partners
International mobility fosters scientific exchange, a key element in advances in all areas of the life sciences. An EU-funded project supports this by awarding bursaries to postdoctoral scientists for research and training abroad – boosting Europe’s capacity to make groundbreaking advances in medical research.

Discover how EU research and innovation improves everyday life in a conference organised by the European Parliament and European Commission on 27 November. The conference is open to everyone so please register to take part. Over the last 30 years, the EU has invested €200 billion in research and innovation
Existing data suggest that immune reactions reduce the lifespan of animal-derived heart valves implanted in cardiac patients. An EU-funded project discovered how to overcome this limitation, to produce valves with improved biocompatibility and novel immunological strategies that will benefit younger patients in particular.
