European food is recognised as being safe, nutritious and of high quality. It should now also become the global standard for sustainability. Although the transition to more sustainable systems is in its infancy, it remains a big challenge to feed a fast-growing world population. The Farm to Fork Strategy, which is at the heart of […]
Horizon 2020: European Museum Collaboration and Innovation Space
Horizon 2020: European Museum Collaboration and Innovation Space Specific Challenge Museums and cultural organisations have been hit by the COVID-19 crisis, some of them significantly, by the loss in revenues. At the same time, the crisis has speeded up the digital transformation of the sector. Digital technologies become central to almost every aspect of the […]
Horizon 2020: Prize for Innovative Batteries for eVehicles
The challenge is to develop a safe and sustainable battery for electric-vehicles through the development of new materials and chemistries making use of abundant, sustainable low cost materials, which are easily available in Europe. Las soluciones deberán ofrecer el mismo o mejor rendimiento que vehículos con de combustión interna y ser capaces de recargar el […]
VOPSA2.0: The use of microalgae in cosmetics
The global demand for food supplements and specific bioproducts from natural sources for human use is increasing dramatically. Moreover, the greater the number of products with a healthy role, the better the results in both research and the market. Different compounds derived from organisms such as Omega-3 fatty acids and the carotenoid Astaxanthin have incredible […]
Horizon 2020: Optimal treatment for patients with solid tumours in Europe through Artificial Intelligence
Demands of cancer care in Europe is significantly increasing as the number of cases is growing as well. Furthermore, it is expected to increase by 14.1% by 2030. Patients, experts and citizens are demanding new treatments to fight cancer as the knowledge of the biological complexity of cancer is wider due to new studies and […]
Horizon 2020: Peer learning of innovation agencies
Implement innovation support programmes for SMEs are important intermediaries for SME innovation. Focus, design and delivery mechanism of innovation support programmes determine to a large extent the economic impact from the supported actions and the satisfaction of the beneficiaries with the support provided. The European Union has supported mutual policy learning and exchange of ‘good […]

EIC Horizon Prize for ‘Fuel from the Sun: Artificial Photosynthesis’
The challenge encourages to build an bench-scale prototype of an artificial photosynthesis based system which would be able to produce an useable synthetic fuel. The artificial photosynthesis is understood as a process that can mimick the physical chemistry of natural photosynthesis within the absortion of solar energy in form the of photons. Thus, the solution […]
