Good news from around Europe
The different Interreg MED communities are working on the final details of a wide variety of events for the two months ahead. Some projects are coming to an end and aim to share the results with you in their final conferences. Others are celebrating the benefits of transnational cooperation and
Our brains are larger than those of most other species, and hefty even in relation to our body mass. Is this the result of an ‘arms race’ triggered by social drivers such as competition? Probably not, according to EU-funded research that points primarily to environmental challenges and provided fresh food
EU-funded researchers have laid the foundation for a revolution in communications and computing by harnessing the unique properties of light to create, manipulate and measure ‘quantum rainbows’. Powered by WPeMatico
As pressure grows to limit the use of conventional pesticides that may harm health and the environment, EU-funded researchers have brought eco-friendly alternatives a step closer to reality by turning insects’ own hormones against them. Powered by WPeMatico
PHENOmenon project organise, in parallel of the 5th Ed. Smart Materials and Surfaces – SMS Conference,the Focus Session “Optically Engineered Surfaces”. The program will include the presentation of the first results of the project, together with high level keynote and invited speakers in the fields of metaoptics, micro-nanophotonics and nanofabrication,
Across eight pages of its summer issue, the European Commission (DG Regio) PANORAMA Magazine shows project examples of how this European spirit takes form. All this editorial section on Transnational cooperation covers four major topics that ignore any borders: Climate change, sustainable mobility, innovation and energy efficiency.

An EU-funded project has produced award-winning research on the way people naturally avoid arguments in conversation, with researchers hoping that better understanding could help social media platforms foster more positive discussions online. Powered by WPeMatico
Biomass availability is complex to estimate. It is necessary to assess which feedstock is available close by to avoid high transport costs. The feedstock must also have sufficient quality and specific characteristics to meet the technical requirements of the plant. The cost and sustainability of the chosen biomass are equally
EU-funded researchers have gleaned important insights into the composition, topography and activity of a comet, helping scientists prepare for the next close encounter with these icy, dusty remnants from the formation of the solar system. Powered by WPeMatico
An EU-funded project has led cutting-edge research into how light interacts with matter, developing new technologies and techniques to push the boundaries of photonics and laser science. Powered by WPeMatico
