Good news from around Europe
ETRERA_2020 addresses future energy needs by creating a renewable energy research alliance to foster the uptake of renewable energy technologies and improve cooperation between research and industry in the Mediterranean. Powered by WPeMatico
EU-funded scientists delved into a special class of proteins to solve the mystery of how creatures such as winter flounder and ocean pout don’t freeze along with the waters they live in. The results could lead to new bio-based anti-freeze alternatives for industry, medicine and food-production. Powered by WPeMatico
Robo-Mate looks like a superhero accessory, but actually it is a tool designed to help industrial workers. It can reduce the effort to lift a load by ten times. Powered by WPeMatico
Europe must capitalise better on the knowledge it produces, and turn its innovation potential into economic growth. Research and innovation should be prioritised in EU and national budgets, with a doubling of the budget of the successor to Horizon 2020, the current EU research and innovation programme. And it should
An EU-funded project has found a potential new way to target drug-resistant bacteria, and it is hoped that the initiative’s drug discovery platform will lead to more ground-breaking discoveries – with the potential to save lives. Powered by WPeMatico
With a shortage of data about human trafficking, it can be challenging to combat it and protect the victims. These victims are exploited for many purposes, including forced sex work, criminality and labour. The EU-funded TRACE project assessed and consolidated information to provide policy makers, governments and law enforcement agencies
An innovative start-up is finalising the development of open-ocean fish farming technology that could reshape the global aquaculture industry, enabling farmers to raise larger quantities of fish in healthier, more natural conditions while minimising environmental impacts. Powered by WPeMatico
The eStandards consortium is pleased to announce the eStandards Final Conference. This two-day event will take place in Brussels hosted by CEN TC251 at the CEN-CENELEC premises, Avenue Marnix 17, on June 26-27, 2017. You are invited to think of a global eHealth ecosystem where we all enjoy timely safe
As global competition for fresh and processed fruit increases, breeders and producers also have to deal with the effects of climate change and more pathogens, especially sharka disease, appearing in their orchards. EU-funded research traced the origins of stone fruits to discover genetic clues for better disease resistance. Powered by
Organic aquaculture production is much in demand, but some traditional fish farmers may need guidance on how to make the switch. The ECOFISH project is developing a model and guide that provide just that, helping to set producers on the path to sustainability and added value. Powered by WPeMatico
