Good news from around Europe
Since their invention in the 1930s, reflective road studs have helped drivers stay safe at night. EU-funded research has now demonstrated that upgrading such devices with smart energy-saving technology has the potential to save lives. Powered by WPeMatico
Well-thought-out maintenance of a physical system, whether it is a factory or a wind turbine, can add value to a business. Now the EU, ECSEL Participating States and industry-funded research is helping to introduce a new approach to maintenance technology. Powered by WPeMatico
It’s sleek. It’s fast. It’s green, and that’s not just the colour of the hull. EU-funded researchers have developed an award-winning battery electric commuter ferry that can reach up to 30 knots – an impressive speed, which many had deemed unattainable for such a vessel. Powered by WPeMatico
EU-funded research is developing advanced modelling tools to help assess the full extent of the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans and how it is affecting the marine environment. The tools will help policymakers design targeted measures to address a big and growing issue. Powered by WPeMatico
Annual Event by the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers: Cancer is a much feared disease. What is state of the art in cancer research – and how should European research collaborations be designed if we want to make further progress in this field? Successful collaborative partnerships in cancer research
Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe together with cluster Nanoprogress, Czech Nanotechnology Industries Association, agency CzechInvest, Technology Centre CAS (CZELO and Enterprise Europe Network) would like to invite you to the NanoDay Brussels. The main aim of the event is to provide an overview of the nanotechnology sector in
EU-funded researchers have developed a sophisticated modelling system capable of gauging the influence of man-made climate change on extreme weather wreaking havoc around the globe, from heat waves and droughts to floods and storm surges. Powered by WPeMatico
The European Commission and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation of Argentina signed today an administrative arrangement encouraging cooperation in marine research and innovation to tackle the challenges linked to the Atlantic Ocean, including ocean observation, food security, polar research and climate variability.
