An EU-funded project has launched a smartphone-centric authentication platform securely connecting all online accounts with a user’s identity, putting an end to having to remember myriad PINs and passwords. This could help protect against hacking and boost confidence in online commerce amid privacy concerns. Powered by WPeMatico

Putting a fresh spin on the proverb ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’, EU-funded researchers have developed and tested an innovative treatment for infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, which have developed into a major public health threat. This new weapon is a cocktail of bacteria-killing viruses called ‘phages’.

The EU-funded ANYWHERE project aims to enable PPDR (Public Protection and Disaster Relief) institutions as well as society as a whole to enhance their responsiveness in front of extreme weather-induced events and to better cope with the high social, environmental and economic impacts related. The project works are being held
