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

A Polish institute strengthened its research capabilities via an EU-funded project. A package of measures has helped the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research (IARFR) extend its expertise in three key areas – food, biodiversity and health. Powered by WPeMatico

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

In the context of the 2nd HBP Student Conference, young researchers from the fields of neuroscience, brain medicine and computer science receive the possibility to exchange ideas and perspectives and discuss various aspects of their particular fields of expertise relevant to the Human Brain Project. The conference offers a variety

As one of the world’s leading R&D conference combined with an international exhibition, the EUBCE represents the leading platform for the collection, exchange and dissemination of scientific know-how in the field of biomass. Be part of the 26th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition and present your results to specialists and

To mark the launch of their activities in the R&I sector, the Lithuanian RDI Liaison Office (LINO) and the Ukrainian Think Tanks Liaison Office in Brussels (UTTLOB) are organising a conference on Widening Member States and Associated Countries’ potential in Research and Innovation. Through the particular examples of Ukraine and

So much waste … what could we do with it, beyond producing energy and compost? EU-funded researchers are looking into ways to turn biowaste generated in our cities – notably by homes, restaurants and shops – into a number of bio-based products by means of integrated biorefineries.

Radio waves, microwaves, X-rays – electromagnetic radiation that we can’t actually see is exploited in a number of familiar technologies. But there is still a lot of potential to unlock, notably in the terahertz part of the spectrum. An EU-funded project is conducting research into innovative semiconductors that could open
