We all have a view on how we want society to be. And we all live in a world that is a result of policies adopted. An EU-funded project is making it possible for European citizens to put the future they want on the research agenda. Powered by WPeMatico
An EU-funded project has generated key insights into how gene expression is regulated dynamically in certain cells of the immune system, opening up novel avenues for research to advance understanding of disease progression. Powered by WPeMatico
The EU funded PRIDE project is investigating drivers of biotic turnover (the rate at which organisms die) in lakes in the Black Sea / Caspian Sea (Pontocaspian) region to understand the nature and severity of the current biodiversity crisis. Increased understanding will help the project team design conservation strategies to
The next generation of particle colliders will demand unprecedented precision in the alignment of their components. EU-funded researchers have pushed the limits with new techniques for the accurate positioning of scientific equipment. Powered by WPeMatico
EU-funded researchers have developed a carbon with tiny pores that could prevent infection of livers by intestinal bacteria – a common complication in chronic liver disease. The material could improve patients’ quality of life and chances of survival, while reducing the use of antibiotics in managing the disease. Powered by
Does our increasing reliance on smartphones make data more vulnerable? An EU-funded project’s recommendations on cybersecurity aim to inform policymakers on the best approaches to protect personal data and improve trust in mobile applications. Powered by WPeMatico
Young researchers are developing next-generation manufacturing processes for medicines and chemicals in an EU-funded network. Their innovative and green solutions aim to boost industrial competitiveness. Powered by WPeMatico
If railways could ensure maintenance didn’t disrupt rail services, trains could be the main arteries of Europe’s transportation infrastructure. The EU-funded OPTIRAIL project has developed a new framework to better maintain railways – it could even unify rail networks across Europe, making the continent a more competitive global force.

A group of young researchers spent the past couple of years with their heads in the clouds… to better understand aerosol cloud interactions and how they can help predict climate change. The project also led to technological advances in remote-sensing instrumentation and picked up the pace for technological transfer from
