Within the Framework Partnership Agreement in European low-power microprocessor technologies awarded in 2017, the selected consortium will be invited to submit a Research and Innovation Action proposal for the second phase of the design and development of European low-power processors […]
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 […]
The revolutionary method for clinical trials in type 1 diabetes
The ISLET project is a multi-center collaboration of leading European researchers that has been awarded 8 million euros from the Horizon 2020 funding programme for research and innovation in a 5-year period. Type 1 Diabetes is a global health challenge, affecting more than one million children and adolescents worldwide, with close to 129,000 new […]
H2020. Innovative textiles – reinventing fashion
The main market driver in the textile sector is the fast-growing demand for products and the need to respond to it without a negative environmental impact. The proportion of bio-based textile fibres has been falling steadily for decades, mainly because of the environmental limits of cotton production and the progress made (e.g. in terms of […]
H2020. Secure, clean and efficient energy: Big data for buildings
Big Data can lead to enhanced consumer information, contribute to an effective management of energy grids and support the creation of innovative energy services, new business models and financing schemes for distributed clean energy. Specific challenge Collecting and making available reliable data on buildings is a key challenge for the European Union. Enabling big data […]
H2020. Secure, clean and efficient energy : Smart Airports
The aviation transport sector is growing fast and air traffic is expected, at current rates, to double its volume during the next 25-30 years. This would lead to aviation generating in excess of 10% of the global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Challenge Novel concepts and solutions aimed at enhancing the capability of airports communities […]
H2020. Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing and Processing: Upcycling Bio Plastics of food and drinks packaging
Upcycling in this context means transforming them into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value, ensuring that micro-plastics are avoided. This will allow the sustainable recycling or biological degradation in accordance with existing and novel technologies, standards and certification schemes. Challenge The challenge is to develop technologies to deal with […]
H2020. Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions : European Researchers’ Night 2020
The European Researchers’ Night aims to bring researchers closer to the general public and to increase awareness of research and innovation activities. Objective Supporting the public recognition of researchers, creating an understanding of the impact of researchers’ work on citizen’s daily life, and encouraging young people to embark on research careers. Scope The European Researchers’ […]
H2020. Nanotechnologies, Advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Advanced Manufacturing and Processing : Incentivising newcomers (CSA)
The essential criteria for selecting projects under Horizon 2020 are excellence, impact and implementation. This requires attracting the best researchers and innovators in particular from the entire EU but also from countries associated to the programme. Specific Challenge Collaboration across borders and between industry and research organisations is still insufficiently developed. The challenge is therefore […]
