The particularity of paediatric cancers being rare diseases necessitates a collaborative approach to collate and integrate the data collected in all Member States, including best practices and new technologies in order to further develop common solutions. The use of big data for better insights in cancer genesis, outcomes and the long-term side effects of treatments […]
H2020. Optimal treatment for patients with solid tumours in Europe through Artificial Intelligence
The scope of this call topic is to establish guideline-based decision support and platform solutions to generate knowledge discovery for breast, lung and prostate cancer with applicability to other indications, in several European (EU member states and H2020 associated countries) ‘model’ regions. The funded action will focus only on breast, lung and prostate cancer. These […]
Artificial Intelligence: Turbocharging European industry
Artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced robotics are opening new horizons in all sectors of industry, both in terms of developing new manufacturing techniques and redefining the interaction between human workers and automated tools. A CORDIS Results Pack has presented the first innovative results of thirteen Horizon 2020 projects that are pioneers in the implementation of […]
H2020. Environmental Intelligence
New synergies between the distant disciplines of environmental modelling, advanced sensor research, social sciences, and Artificial Intelligence can lead to radically new approaches for creating and using dynamic models of the environment, including predictive modelling, scenario testing and real-time tracking. The ultimate goal is to build a systemic understanding of the socio-environmental inter-relationships, for instance, […]
H2020. The ethics of technologies with high socio-economic impact
Technologies with potentially high socio-economic impact raising complex ethical issues must be analysed from an ethical perspective to maximise their societal benefit and minimise harm. Challenge The exponential scientific progress resulting in the mushrooming of these new technologies (e.g. gene editing, DNA digital data storage, Artificial Intelligence, etc.), calls for a coherent research and innovation ethics approach at […]
H2020. Artificial Intelligence on demand platform
The challenge is to fully exploit the potential of AI in the economy and society. Building notably on Europe’s Scientific and Technology strengths in the field, the supported activities should reinforce industrial competitiveness across all sectors including for SMEs and non-tech industries and help address societal challenges. The ambition is to bring AI technologies and […]
President von der Leyen on the Commission’s new strategy: Shaping Europe’s Digital Future
White Paper for Artificial Intelligence and Data Strategy Europe has a long history of technological success and innovation, with a strong and world-class industry. The digital strategy that has been aimed connects all these points and puts them in context. The intention of the Commission is that digital transformation drives the community economy and offers […]

Over three-quarters of the world’s population now live in urban areas
With data spanning four decades and nearly 240 countries and territories, the JRC’s new Atlas of the Human Planet shows how humans have settled on Earth and urbanised the planet. From 1975-2015, the share of people living in urban areas has increased from 69% to 76%. Across the globe, the number of countries and territories with […]
