In this one-day event, HBP experts and leadership will present EBRAINS infrastructure, and demonstrate the capacities of the underlying HBP platforms. They will present a range of opportunities for engagement of researchers in the project’s activities. These presentations will be coupled with talks by Dutch researchers, that may be interested
Disposable nappies, or diapers, are a hygienic time-saver – but one with an environmental impact. An EU and industry-funded project has developed collection and recycling systems that turn used nappies and similar products into profitable new materials for more sustainable use. Powered by WPeMatico
The potential for new advances drawing on medical physics and biomedical engineering is vast. Cross-disciplinary expertise is needed to unlock it for the benefit of society and industry, say the partners in an EU-funded network that is helping 15 young researchers to hone the required skills.

EU-funded researchers are on the verge of slashing the energy used by internet data centres to help cut CO2 emissions. By developing a model to optimise energy in real time, they aim to make the centres more efficient without affecting performance. Powered by WPeMatico
An innovative Swedish SME will soon launch a life-saving test for one of the most lethal and hard-to-detect forms of cancer. Clinically validated in an EU-funded project, the test could revolutionise the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, providing early detection with unprecedented accuracy, boosting patient survival rates and enabling widespread screening
Meeting the globally growing demand for high-quality, protein-rich foods, that satisfy the need of a growing world population while considering environmental sustainability, adapted land-use practices and food security is a unique challenge. Food for the Future: Accelerating the Protein Transition a one-day interactive conference will bring together researchers, policymakers and
An EU-funded project is taking an innovative multi-disciplinary approach to improving our understanding of food choices. Knowledge gained will help policy-makers to ‘nudge’ people into eating more healthily, so reducing the incidence of food-intake disorders. Powered by WPeMatico
